Mini-infantry and Castle Ramparts- A Comparison
over 3 years ago – Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 09:47:45 PM

Hey Backers,

As requested , here are a few photos showing an unpainted 28mm Templar Sergeant from Fire Forge against  a line up of 3 castle ramparts, one with hoardings installed. Each castle rampart measures 100mm (L) x 50mm (D) x 80mm (H not including crenellations). The ramparts are also super-modular, they can be stacked one above the other, side by side and in front of each other as well as have all our accessories installed on them. Also, please excuse the first two photos, they were taken from my phone at night unlike the last one which was taken on a DSLR with studio lighting.

Standard and Pro Texture Comparison
over 3 years ago – Sun, Oct 18, 2020 at 02:15:30 AM

Hey Backers,

Below is a photo showing the comparison between the two texturing options we offer. The standard texture represents masonry by means of "vector" lines that basically  scores the material . 

The Pro-Texture is made by converting a high resolution photo of real stone masonry for use on our machines. The machine then engraves the material into a 3d texture that feels like stone. If you touch it, you can feel the undulations and roughness that is characteristic of real stone . It results in a very convincing stone texture by look and feel. I believe there is no one else doing this at the moment. This 3d texture looks very convincing on its own, but just a tiny bit of weathering using oil washes and pigment powders will really make the detail pop (as shown below in Picassawi's picture). All this realism comes at a significant expense in terms of machine hours as it take more than double the time to produce the Pro-texture.
