Sins your produce high figures whit great detail,
perhaps photo etched parts would be something?
I mean for belts,flags,horse belts and shield detail maybe

Perhaps it' possible to produce figures in metal with the detail of resine figures. I think about hecker's figures ! I know Jens like them... There is no base and I 's better to put metal pin.

Well, for reasons of easy glueing part together, I generally would prefer plasic of the polystyrene type as used, e.g., by Preiser. They achieve superb results meanwhile in their 1/72 range (see www.plasicsoldierreview.com). The soft type of plastic as used by Zvezda (and a similar type by Pegasus) is better since it allows small undercuts, however, you have to use this cyano-acrylate glue if a figurine has to be composed of several parts (the new set of Swedish artillery by Zvezda shows the detail you can get with this material). In all cases, the mould production process is quite expensive and only useful if the output of figures can be big enough.

Interesting point. My preference is always for metal figures. I like the weight and feel of metal. My figures are used for gaming and displays in a group, I do not make dioramas, so it is preferable for me to have bases. However, perhaps the bases could be cast separately?

Metal ... no probs with breaking parts and it feels much better if the miniatures have a litte more weight than plastic/resin

A resin compound...yes...metal...I don´t like very much

My favourite option would be metal. Detail is generally very good.
I like the resin compound for detail, but my crossbow set was quite damaged when it arrived (hurt by the metal cavalry in the box I think) and it can be a bit of a chore to repair things. Metal strikes a good compromise and feels good in the hand.

Not much of a fan of plastic in general, but would give anything Valdemar try a go :)
