LINEOL Jaguar with snake (1932 to 1940). Not the best painting variation... for the very good price of 468€

My word, what a lovely figurine...!!

Just saw on Ebay a Elastolin prewar farm and models for £1,675.00!!!

Yes, but this Przewalski is from WWF line. But still it's expensive.

It's an very limited animal, I don't know how many how many there is limited.
And every time it's very expensive, some ones says him he want pay 20€ but he want's 799€

Yes, the WWF serie is very expensive but i am very happy thats no figurine of this serie is interestingfor me;-)

 Of course it is not sold ! It doesn`t have the base, so it is not complete  
It should look like this (scroll down a bit )  
The one with base was sold for just under 720 Euros in April a year ago.

actually a Schleich beagle on ebay.de

Hi,

Do You think that this new 3D-copymachines will take down the prices? I myself actually don't care if an animal is original - I only wan't the species or more of the same for a future diorama.

For example, the Starlux WWF or Jeol animals who goes for ridiculos high prices. If I could borrow a Sable antelope frome someone, copy it in the machine, and even change it slightly so I could have different animals I would gladly be content with that...

I never hear of that:scratch:   But the true is, i also want the specie and not the brand:scratch:   But i think to borrow is also a problem- so i only know one person with the PV lemurs, and it is also a risk with shipping:D 

Well, I was thinking about this for quite a while already.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] offers a simple and quite effective 3D scanning software, that needs only a camera to work.

I already scanned a Starlux Eohippus (which still needs some polishing and preparation before printing).

I'm also interested in a figure which is too expensive and too large for me, so I'd like to print it. I'm wondering how would an idea such as this (3D printing of rare figures), be accepted in the community? Would you consider it heretical?

I think it is not okay if you would copy modern or main brands, that isnt legal. But old vintage that not really often you can find    How looks the copy, you can see that it is a copy? So that no beguilement is possible

But if you only need a picture than i think you can also print a figure that is no copy  

Have you this printer?

Copying figures currently in production is definately not legal... And it also doesn't make any sense. It's a lot more expensive than the moulded plastic, and the materials are much more fragile.

And it's very noticeable if it's a 3d-printed copy. For example, look at Shapeways. The coloured material is very dull in color, and frail to the touch (color sandstone). Other materials are usually noticeably ribbed and only in single color.

Actually, don't you own a 3D printed Dik-dik from Miniature?

And no, I don't have a 3D printer.

Plus, for an image based scan it takes like 50 photos from different angles. :)



I apologize for being offtopic, maybe a mod could split this thread?

How about the retired green Schleich dragon? The seller wants almost $2,000 for it!:

EDIT: The same seller has other Schleich items for crazy prices!
