If you're a fan of a certain very quiet king of a robotic space Egyptian race and want the ultimate piece for your tabletop or shelf the Machine Dias is what you're looking for. With a full 32mm figure standing atop this massive dais this model is over 120mm each direction and sits on a 120mm base, it's huge. No one will know what to do you when you place this absolute showpiece on the tabletop.
There's also major customization and kit bashing potential with this model, it has 3 different body poses and 6 heads that come with it, so you can make it your own.

Size
This model is available in 50mm scale. This is measured by the block that can be found in the scale picture. This height will be approximately to the eye so the total height of the model will be higher.
All 50mm and below models are printed solid while larger models are hollowed to keep weight down and increase reliability in the printing process. If you are interested in a solid 50mm+ sized model for display reasons, please contact me about pricing. It will be significantly costlier due to using 4-6x as much material and needing to be re-supported.
Quality
We offer 3 different level of quality for the Resin Printed minis. Some models only have 2 of the 3 options available based on the design and detail of the model.
Budget: Models are printed with Anycubic Speed resin at 100 micron layers. This is best for low detail models like squads of guys and other large tabletop armies. This resin is not overly brittle but also not as robust as the tabletop. This is a great option to save some money on minis that don’t need the high detail.
Tabletop: Printed with a highly flexible resin at 50 microns and anti-aliasing. We use a high detail yet very robust resin to make sure your models are parade ready but won’t shatter like glass when they fall or get knocked over. This is the perfect compromise for models that you’re actually going to be playing with but still want to look like 1 million bucks at your local game.
Display: Printed with high detail resin at 25 microns. We also use the most advanced anti-aliasing algorithms available for maximum detail and smoothest surfaces. These are absolutely the best quality out there; every detail is crisp and precise and takes full advantage of our 14k printers. To be honest though it’s really hard to tell the difference between 25 and 50 microns without a magnifying glass. I would only suggest this quality for display or painting contests when quality means everything. These are also much for fragile that our tabletop models and I wouldn’t suggest playing or transporting these models often. The display quality really shines on the 100mm and larger models where you can really see every tiny detail the artist included. If a model is not available in display quality and you would like to get one for a diorama or display piece let me know.
Printing
We pre-print every model that we sell so we know what problems to look for and make sure you get the perfect miniature. All our models are printed on a 14K printer and have an XY resolution of 16x24 microns making them some of the highest detail models that can be made today.
Processing
All our models are post processed and the supports are removed before washing and curing. When you receive your model there could still be some micro supports (they look like wispy hairs) and there will be some small marks from the supports. For a high-quality paint job, we suggest cutting off any raised areas or support scars and lightly sanding the model just like you would do with a molded mini.
We do our best to make sure that every model out the door looks as good as possible and if there is any major scarring or problem, we’ll reprint it. In addition, any model that is multipart will be shipped unassembled and will need to be glued together by you. Any super glue works great for this but don’t use plastic cement as it will not melt the resin.
Bases
Some of the larger models include bases, sometimes including scenery or ground cover or other items like walls, etc. These will be shipped with the base the artist intended. For all other models we will include one of your magnetic bases in the appropriate size. These bases are printed from PLA and come with a 10mm high strength magnet that can be glued into them. These are great for transportation or holding them to a painting stand. These bases are also available in the store.
Shipping
All our models are made to order and will be put in the print que as soon as your order is received. This can take anywhere from 5-7 days depending on backlog. As soon as they are printed, cleaned and cured they ship and should arrive at your door a few days after that. We pack the models as well as possible but they can be damaged in shipping, especially long skinny items like spears, this is why we don’t pre-assemble. If you cannot glue your model back together, let me know and we can replace any broken parts.
