Here's Eric back peddling slightly a few days after he wrote above (the blog post is gone):

hi all! Official answer time! I've just been working with this stuff a ton, and having a ton of conversations with my manufacturer about chemical makeup of plastics...so at the moment my head is full of all this.

If you see my last blog post, our plastic is actually NOT 100% ABS (check my blog for more details), however, being an ABS mixture means that it is in fact denser than most of your standard poly products. Plastic glue WILL work on it, but I found that it's best to chat with your local hobby store expert to find a plastic glue which is the most aggressive available. I've actually got about 4-5 options and testing them out, to see if one does work noticeably better than another.

We also know gorilla glue works nicely as well, although it doesn't bond the plastic like a plastic glue, it's a very very high quality super glue (not talking about the standard yellowy wood-glue-like stuff). Note also that plastic glue is pretty useless sticking plastic to metal, so if you have base inserts, for example, go with the super glue.

Thanks!


I love plastic; not even the people selling it know what the fuck it is. :lol:

" The move to digital sculpting with Geomagic's Freeform 3D modeling software allowed Wyrd to deliver "exceptional detail that was previously not possible to achieve in metal figurines - detail that exactly reproduces and in some cases exceeds the detail in the original line art, even for intricately detailed miniatures such as Hungering Darkness and the windswept Miss Terious."



HORSESHIT!

I picked up a couple of Malifaux figures on Sunday, they stick with poly cement so there can't be much ABS in the mix!

Is it still ok prefer hand crafted metal minis over super digital ABS hybrid material minis? :|

I have that model. Bitch to put together but fits my Amazon army nicely. Bought second hand £2.
