furyion Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 i have just picked up the 2005 games day Veteran Sergeant Aurelius miniature from ebay but something seems odd about the whole model, it seems to be made from a fairly hard resin, i could have sworn that model was only cast in white metal. i have scrapped a small area of black primer away to confirm its not metal and it has a comparaitve weight to a finecast mini. im just wondering if i have stumbled across something that should not exist. fury Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292966-2005-games-day-veteran-sergeant-aurelius-infocasting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Only time Games Day models where made/started in finecast - not metal was 2012 with the Blood Angel captain & last year Empire model. Before that they've always been metal, you can find a photo of the 2005 Games Day model here Painted http://www.solegends.com/citle2000/GamesDay/2005marineveteran/index.htm Metal http://www.solegends.com/citle2000/GamesDay/2005marineveteran/gd2005SpaceMarineVeteranParts.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292966-2005-games-day-veteran-sergeant-aurelius-infocasting/#findComment-3729412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

furyion Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Every picture I've seen of him shows he is metal, not resin (of any sort) It looks like you've got a recast all the info and pics i can find say it's metal, if it is a recast it's a damn good one, i picked it up very cheaply within a tactical squad as it's srg. either way im happy as i really like the model so ill be slaping some red paint on him soon. fury Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292966-2005-games-day-veteran-sergeant-aurelius-infocasting/#findComment-3729431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
