You're not making any sense at all. These models have been available for many years now and have been printed hundreds of times collectively, small, big, resin, FDM, it's all been done I've seen armies, convoys, dioramas, scaled up statues, even a giant metre long Scarab in FDM. Which is to say that your claims of being unusable or causing severe errors or printing impairments are utterly bizarre and long proven wrong in the extreme, I'm shocked you'd even attempt it. I don't understand how you could think you're the first person to print them. Not only that but as an expert in consumer level resin printing for half a decade there is nobody more familiar with how they print than me, and maybe needing more s than you're personally used to also isn't a real issue.

Trying to insult how they look, that's uncalled for and low. Yes they're quite old work and I can do much better now as I've never stopped actively working to improve over time, there are a couple I'm actually not happy with and would like to remaster for peace of mind, but they still look great when printed and painted. I spent many many weeks working on them during turbulent times and will always be proud of them regardless of how they age. Strange that I have to point this out to you but they have previews for a reason, multiple actually for every single model including the automatically generated raw one, you knew how they looked and that applies to all your first three points. They also have descriptions, where I describe them as medium detail, which I do because of my organic style. Perfect CAD style 'straight' lines were never promised, and nothing about the lines impairs printing.

Where your inexperience shows most however is in your belief of severe errors, false positives are a known factor, only a complete beginner blindly believes what the slicer says or even uses the so-called 'repair' function rather than simply their eyes for anything obviously wrong. 3D geometry is not simple, and every piece of 3D software processes and interprets it differently, as is explained in the FAQ the professional software I use for sculpting is known for exporting geometry in a way which can show as having non-manifold edges in slicing software as a false positive, it is completely benign and has zero effect on either slicing or printing.

As it says in the FAQ, if you believe you have found a real issue, like internal geometry, then the correct thing to do is me directly to kindly let me know and I will look and fix it if there's something to fix. If you purchase a new car and think you hear a minor rattle, you can't take it back and get a refund, it gets checked and fixed as is sensible.

Bottom line, the only thing stopping you from using them is yourself. Lack of understanding or attention is not a basis for a refund and has nothing to do with me or my work, I'm always happy to give out tips and I have a lot of information available, but tutoring isn't included as a feature of my models. All you have to do is import//print, as those before you have done.

Hi, the problem is it's incomplete because I ran out of time for a few necromorphs I wanted to do, but I'll consider it as it's unlikely I'll ever be able to return to it

That would be awesome. I'll definitely be picking at least some either way (you have the best tripod and brute around, just to name a few) but if you have a bundle, I'll be first in line.

Hi, I loved the game, I don't know what you're interested in but in of fan models I will probably just be doing the alternate Sentinel helmet or something

For commission inquiries you must me directly via the email in my descriptions/FAQ/profile

Hi, no it isn't, I believe it specifically explains that in the description, my actual life size ones are newer and still private as I have not released them digitally

Oh, I see, since there are other full-size replicas available here on the platform, I believed that the files were available for purchase. Since there are replicas of Gears helmets here and 1:1 weapons from other franchises, do you have any idea when the files will be available on cults?

I don't, there are over 100 models I haven't released because first I make them available as exclusive physical prints (the #1 reason I make them), then a year or more later I do a digital release, for those probably this year before E-Day though.

Oh, thank you very much, as I live in another country and importing here is practically impossible, I will be looking forward to your files

Hi, I don't have any current plans for further weapons, and I mostly only do helmets so body armour (which is a lot more work) is by commission, if you wanted to inquire about a quote for something like that you'll have to me via my email in my descriptions/profile/faq

Unfortunately there are not sufficient numbers on either side for me to split them with that same set discount

would it be possible for a slightly less generous discount, just a little of the top?

Hi, sorry but the commission cost of putting together a custom Spartan even with existing parts would easily be as much as that pack

Hi and thanks, my Gears models are my oldest over 4 years old and I have no plans to add to them beyond commissions. If you're interested in that option for anything specific feel free to me via my email on my profile or in my FAQ to inquire further.

I'm interested, but how much would a new set cost?

Hi, unfortunately there is no discount larger than the sets at almost half price they are already at my highest bulk discount

It's about the halo reach emile file, when you open it and enlarge it a bit it doesn't look anything like your 360 degree video or the reference image.

https://ibb.co/S7HvDGvv So I would like to validate the quality of the file or ask for a refund (nothing personal).

There are three different previews of the file including the raw generated one by Cults. the first is what it looks like when printed as a miniature, it is not possible for it to not look like itself. They're specifically intended to be and offered as miniatures not statues nowhere does it say that these miniatures are particularly suitable to be scaled as large statues, it is stated in the description that they are medium detail suited to miniatures, however I do personally print my miniatures at 1:10 scale and they come out great [https://i.imgur.com/Kfilh8Y.jpeg]. Zooming in makes it easy to lose perspective, unless you're printing 300mm tall then making it as tall or more than your monitor has no reflection on the print, although I did look at that one that way and it still looks good. I don't do it myself when printing larger because I prefer crispness but you can also use the shortcut Ctrl+1 in Blender to subdivide the model and make it smoother, all of this is mentioned in the FAQ btw

for the Mass Effect packs

I'm afraid your math isn't mathing, it's a 25% discount, which is less than normal for two reasons a) the sets are smaller than my others for other series and b) it's the only series which includes two poses/models for each unit/listing therefore on a per model basis they're already the cheapest and best value I offer even before the set discount.

T'was indeed. my bad

Not having alternate versions of the open vehicles with basic units in them was an oversight I didn't think of at the time, but also would have been too much work for the time I had. I don't have any concrete plans but if I ever have time to revisit the Reach/H3 vehicles, or take on the H2A versions it's something I'll certainly have in mind. There is the possibility of commissioning the additions, to inquire about that you'd have to me via email either on my profile or in my FAQ linked in the descriptions

Hi and thanks. I had intended to do companion characters but ran out of time and have no current plans for returning, I never played multiplayer so the idea of operators never crossed my mind. However if you check out my FAQ linked in the listings you'll find a page about commissions and also my email to discuss commissioning new models if you have any interest in that

Hi and thanks. My Gears models are years old and I have no plans for any more miniatures, but if you check out my FAQ linked in the listings you'll find a page about commissions and also my email to discuss commissioning new models if you have any interest in that.

Thank you for the quick response!

Hi, I have no further plans for helmets, however if you'd like to inquire about commissioning it you can me via my email on my profile or in the FAQ linked in the listings

Only rarely when commissioned to, personally I prefer dowels with dowel holes when printing large rather than keys, slicers like Orca can cut and add them easily then the modified parts exported back out for a resin slicer

Hi, the Sets are already very heavily discounted compared to the individual models so they will never be further discounted

I understand 👍 thank you for the quick reply(:

I generally release everything I'm going to do at once with no further plans. I don't recall either of the ones you've mentioned but for potential commissions you'll have to me via my email on my profile/FAQ, preferably with wiki links to those. Also for inquiries about possible bulk discounts.

Hi, I've answered a similar question before, because they're half price as a set then just purchasing the three Elites would be the same price at full price anyway. I won't be making separate listings for all 6 models, if you really really just need a particular one then you'll have to me directly via email on my profile/faq to sort something out

Hi, it's no different to sculpting anything else. Blender is the best free software for this, there's a page in my FAQ called 'How To Make Models', it basically just mentions Blender and the core ideas of approaching sculpting
