I'm looking to add some waves to my battle diorama , how is the final quality of the gel ?

When used alone, if the gel is too thick, it may have a yellow tinge. I absolutely love this product. I use transparent or translucent paint and paint over the gel after it's dried. You will also get great results if you add your paint to the gel itself, but i would definitely test it first.

I love mine. No buyers remorse or anything like that. One thing I would suggest would be to upgrade the build plate though as the acrylic plate warps. If you can design it in a 3D modeling program, you can print it (for the most part). So to answer your questions, Yes, imo, it is worth the money. I would imagine that you could build airsoft guns with this with mostly printed parts. Would still need springs and such like that though of course.

No it should be ok, the texture is always a bit grainy-ish. I think you can soften it down with stuff like modgepodge or however that thing is called.

Yes, very much so! I've had a blast with mine and, best yet, it's been reliable. You'll want to get some glue to adhere the accessories to the turret/hull/etc. The kit come with double sided pads that need trimming and look goofy. I used super glue.

the plastic this model is made of is not cheap but is delicate. the big pieces can withstand some pressure. but keep in mind it does have brittle parts such as small, thin parts. such as the wings, V-crest on the head, and beam saber effect parts. also keep in mind this is NOT a toy for children to rough house with. its for collectors and decorative display only.

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Hi Lisa, I took pictures at an indoor water park. The pictures came out okay. I just scrapbook the pictures, I don't typically blow them up to 5x7 or 8x10. So, for my use the pictures are fine. The fast movements were a little blurry. I have not taken any underwater pictures yet. I took the camera outside for our school snow days. Those pictures in the sunlight were bright and colorful. The fast movements came out okay. I have a few inside pictures during the day and they look pretty good. I have one picture taken at night in my bedroom. My navy blue shirt looks great, but my face is a little orange/yellow and the bedroom in the background is not crisp at all. I think the lighting is responsible for that. I have a few movies on the camera, but can't play them. They are MOV. I tried Quicktime, movie maker, media player. I'll have to play around with it. I hope I don't have to convert these. So, at the moment I can't give you any information on the movies. I wanted the camera to take out to the pool and so far it seems like it will work great for our use. Please let me know if I can help with any else. I'm not sure what you mean by artifacts. I don't think graininess is an issue, but I'm just a mom taking pictures of kids and my photography knowledge is limited.

Answer here...I sanded a bit perhaps going to bare metal in some of the spots covering the area where I had an issue (can't quite remember) and then put the microwave paint right on and it worked great. It is very solidly on there and shows no signs of bubbling or flaking. I found it to be a very good product.

It's a little lighter than my other magpul products. But it's pretty dang close. It's comes dried out and very very light colored. After using Armor All it darkened it up a bit almost matching Magpul's FDE.

It's better than the Toybiz Carnage. Well worth the money. The articulation is excellent and the head sculpt is great.

Mine looks good. It's a really good product if you are a dragon ball z fan.

Hello Geejay, got a request from amazon to give a reply... No problem, shiny ez-seal was a terrific product for us. I dont know exactly why u are sending a 300 dpi or higher image, but if it is to just let the company know about the design u want, there is no need, but would be helpful. All we did was go to the website That they mentioned and choose the design, and mention it to them in your email reply. As to the size, they have a pre-determined size, so if you want it larger or smaller, u have to mention it specifically in your email. They are Very accomodating as long as it is doable. Hope it helps.

Yes. I purchased mine back when these things were going for around $200 US, and it was well worth it, Very well Articulated. The only problem I saw, was that the 'Sword Effects' were overly heavy, and made posing the figma with the difficult, as they would weigh down the arms.

I use this to be portable and I project from behind. So I am not worried about the image quality. The image quality is acceptable to me. If you are thinking of using this at home I would just clean up a wall and just make sure the paint is nice and even. If you are really concerned about image quality then get some flat white paint. If you are using it to be portable and project from the front then there are better options. A screen that is more opaque will give you a better image, but you cannot project from behind. Anytime you lose light you are going to lose image quality. This screen does not reflect all the light. Hopes this helps. I use this to be portable and I project from behind.

First off I did a search on the internet and found that two instructions were backward. I scanned the instructions and then looked at them zoom up on the computer. I went back and rechecked. My problem is advancing the film. What I discovered is that some kits are near perfect others are near trash. They are modeled like model cars etc so quality control is lacking. I also built lomography's DYI. I could not get it to take pictures. I sent it to New York and they examined it and sent me a new kit. I am currently painting it with model spray paint and will be building it. Again enlarge the instructions and do it slow. Oh the plastic on the Fotodiox can warp due to heat and due to storage it may not be light tight. Black electrical tape around the edges will fix that. Good luck. PS: go real slow if you take it apart to re-assimilable it!

Thanks very much. Toony type vector art is exactly what I am going to be drawing (at least at first). I am OK with real material but have never tried with a computer. I planned on drawing directly in the Anime Studio Pro 7 but I think I will check out this Alias Sketchbook Pro you talk about.
