No these are plastic printed. Not sure what kind of plastic it is as I know there's different kinds. I've been very pleased with these miniatures. Well detailed and very little clean up. If I remember right from the underground days you live in the North West right? Miniature Tanks Co. is in Colville, Washington.
Hi maus, Those look really good & I'd be interested in their contact info myself. I am going to start with some Zvezda models with some assembly required & it would be nice to go right to attempting to paint nicely...still a brush guy & it's been awhile, back in the Underground days but I'm ready to try it again.

Hi curt1911,
You'll do just fine. I do everything with a brush except the base color. For that I use a rattle can. Here's James's website for Miniature Tanks Company.
James is very easy to work with. He is on vacation with his wife until Feb. 10th. I'll let you know when he's back. He will contact me so I can send some minis I painted for him. He's a FoW player.
Here's links to the people he has file access to. I believe he can print most with the exception of some vehicles with the small antenna around the top. He's working on purchasing a different printer that will do those in the future.
Thanks for the info my friend, I think I can figure out how to get some things into my hands & to paint. Thanks also for the kind words on my limited skills for now, hope they improve with practice. For now, I ordered a few Zvezda models to get back into practice building & painting again, why 3D printed would expedite things a bit.
Just tried the links, they come up all blank for me, the page is formatted but every box is blank.
I can wait till February, besides, racing will be returning shortly after he returns...woohoo!
Thanks again!
You a NASCAR fan curt? I was a dirt track fan. I volunteered for an organization called Speedway Fire & Rescue for 30 years. We covered 14 different tracks on a weekly basis.
I have been a NASCAR Fan since before the Infamous 1979 Daytona 500 telecast...."and there's a fight in turn 4"....a Hoosier transplant, short tracks abound in the midwest, in the mid '60's to sunny Arizona & grew up with go-carts, minibikes, motorcycles, street & dirt, BAJA VW's, sandrails & other assorted vehicles on dirt & pavement. The sprinters are exciting open wheel racers always....some guy named Gordon comes to mind.....from dirt to NASCAR to TV & even entertaining with Clint Bowyer in the booth.
"Boogity Boogity Boogity....Let's Go Racing Boys!" DW was cool!
Here's the next minis I finished and finally got pics. of. All are 3D printed from Miniature Tanks Co. with some scratch building involved.
Krupp Protze with added driver from PSCo.
Krupp Protze Radio Truck with added antenna. Opel Blitz Wrecker scratch built from a flatbed with junk from the parts box. Crane was scratch built from styrene.
