Ghukeks minis?

stealth7,

You can check out many of my posts on the first 3 pages of the Naval Modelling subforum if you want to see Ghukek's mini's painted.

A lot of what I've done are carriers from Ghukek (in resin) combined with the decals from Flight Deck Decals, but you can see I painted an Iowa class, as well.

I only work in resin and I buy Ghukek's minis from XPForge.  

If you've ever seen the Shapeways ships in FUD, his resin ships are similar, but not as fragile.

If you're more into FDM or what Shapeways calls "white strong and flexible" (or at least they used to), he has that option, too.

His resin ships like the Iowa class don't have as much detail as, say, the same ship on Tiny Thingamajigs, on Shapeways.  However, it will probably have more detail than the same unit from WOTC.  

Ghukek had a thread comparing the materials here.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...that's just awesome!

I received my ships today, very fast shipping. The quality was superb. I did upgrade to the better resin, but most were still cheaper than Shapeways. Plus, and this is a big plus for me, Ghukek minis don't have that gritty feel that Shapeways does. I will definitely be ordering more. Hopefully he continues to expand that line. If there is any downside, is a rather limited selection, especially in planes.

Big thing I'm looking for is a Vanguard. Anything else would be based off the latest War at Sea decks. I'd imaging I'm not alone in that, as folk would be looking to fluff out their fleets as the decks roll out.

I have purchased a bunch of his miniatures through both Shapeways and Etsy. I have especially appreciated him doing the new aircraft for us because the guy that used to do aircraft has been gone for quite awhile.

His stuff is great! I have to admit I've been hoping for a few moderns with the flight deck decal team up. Perhaps a Liaoning or Admiral Kuznetsov?
