Revisiting the 1:12 scale FL-86 Freightliner (Optimus Prime). I need to get better at finishing these FDM prints so I'm getting some practice in. Fingers crossed. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...00063203890799

DarkLordMordred's Ebay Auctions
Wish these were available in the UK. The Ireland store only has pack B and at quite a markup.

I received all of my A sets (I bought a lot) a while ago. The M4 is by far and away the standout. It scales perfectly with Classified and Vala figures and looks awesome.

The other guns are more hit and miss. The scaling is the problem. The FAL is enormous (just enormous). While the shotgun is quite small.

The stock on the normal UZI, while certainly accurate to some versions of the gun, makes it look strange (it's not a great look for Snake Eyes, for example). If you were making 1960s IDF soldiers, then I suppose it would work.

Over all, the level of detail and the sturdiness far surpass 3D printing. They scale and look better than 1:12 MTF stuff. If he would have used black plastic, I would have said these are better than Grid Iron. As it is, they are cheaper per gun than Grid Iron and the M4 is way better than any M4 Grid Iron offers, but otherwise, I think GI is slightly better as a brand over all.

What about the Demro XF-7 WASP?

I think the reason why Mark didn't go with a black plastic is because he's said in interviews in his 26 years of service he's never seen a black gun, they've all been a gun metal gray.

That may be true, but gun metal gray looks black in most lights. The gray plastic he uses for his weapons looks like gray plastic.

I haven't seen a review or comment about the weapons anywhere that didn't say they would be better in black.

Yeah.... unless it is an hk sl8 or usc (first gen) the gray is WAY too light but then again those are nylon 66 anyway lol
