>>11056974>mental gymnastics about how models are toyslol
And LOL at saying models weren't trying to capture high detail. Are you saying Tamiya stuff was purposely low quality then? Fuck you, retard.
Again, there were models made with resin and metal way back then because it could transfer high detail, because low cost molding they were using was shit and low detail. Most GOOD quality model companies switched to /high pressure/ injection modeling when they became big enough to afford it. It's still too expensive though, hence smaller companies doing 3d prints today, despite mass manufacturing with diecast and resin still being an option.
Again, you lied about Tamiya using high pressure injection molding in the 70s
Shit has become even more detailed, despite HPIM being peak technology and old even in the 70s, because companies thought it was a waste of time until McFarlane.
>So McFarlane's Tortured Souls line is for children?Again, you're proving you're a retarded third worlder who is talking about shit he knows nothing about.
No one was talking about Tortured Souls and those weren't found in Targets, WAlmarts, and KMarts in kid toy aisles. Stores like Sam Goody, Suncoast, and KB had them in collector sections. A lot of McFarlane's 00s stuff during his statueshit phase (after their early 00 video game and medieval lines) was only found in specialty stores and viewed as for older collectors.
Everything you're saying is based on bullshit.
Check me proving what I've said, with this picture showing Airfix 1960s minis that were created with high pressure injection modeling. Note how the small details of the clothing and pouches are much sharper and pronounced, despite being twice as small as Tamiya's 1970s kit i posted earlier.
What I'm saying is true, because it actually exists, thus images exist.
You're cherry picking images of machinery that has hard angles, which is easy to do even on non-high pressure injection molding (that isn't worn to shit)
