So for that, as well as the great detail and color, I think this is a good value. As a one-off in this case, you are likely to have the ONLY version of this spartan to ever be made. You can choose from ANY of the armor and helmets you have unlocked as well as ANY of the primary and secondary colors, not to mention visor color as well. One thing I want you to consider though is that there is no other company out there producing individual Spartans. Value: At $89.99 this may seem a little pricey with the model being only 6-7 inches tall. But again, since Sandboxr is using polystone in 3-D printing, this is the best that can be achieved with this material at this point in the technology. The only thing I’m a little disappointed with is the texture. You may find the shine to not be as even throughout on your model, so keep that in mind. The shine to the model does not detract from it. Overall evaluation: The amount of detail overall is great. This view shows just how much more detail really is in the model.
It was a decision that Sandboxr had to really consider. The texture you may be noticing is from the polystone.Plastic may have been smoother, but again, wouldn’t have the vibrant colors. Oh, I should point out that the layers are not that noticeable when viewed at arm’s length, which is about the minimum one would likely display their model. While plastic could have been used, I was told by the owner himself that the current available plastic doesn’t have enough of the vibrancy of color that they wanted to use, so they went with polystone instead. The material used is a form of polystone. If you look close enough, you can see the layers here.
So the shine is a cool by-product of the chemical. This is actually part of the binding chemical used to help fuse the model together. I imagine most will use their gamertag, as I have here.Īs you can see, the model has a bit of a shine to it. You have the option to include text within the block as shown. Here are four shots of the model from approximate front, sides and back views. The black color you see is part of the default pattern for the Hellcat armor.Īs you can see, the Halo 5 Guardians banner is prominently display at the front of the base. I used Coal as the primary color and the darkest yellow (apologies that I can’t remember the actual color name of that ATM). If you’re wondering which armor/helmet I chose, the armor is Hellcat armor, while the helmet is the Cypher Voynich helmet. This Spartan measures 6.25 inches tall by 3.75 inches wide.
That’s very good packing on the part of Sandboxr! Each styrofoam piece is laser cut to fit the statue snugly between them. If you want to put the statue back in to box with the styrofoam, I suggest numbering the styrofoam pieces as you take them off, so you know how they go back together again. While this next pic isn’t the model itself (it’s the small one), it shows you how the layers separate. I highly recommend you follow this to the letter folks. Foam layers with an instruction sheet included on top, then the plastic is shrink wrapped around this to make it more secure. This is how the statue comes packed inside. The black band slips off fairly easily and can be put back on if you choose to store your statue back in the box. Okay on with the pics! (As always, click to make bigger) It appears the stance with the sword drawn is the widest, adding another half inch or more to the total width. However, the overall statue will be slightly wider, again, depending on stance chosen. It appears that the stance with the Railgun pointed in the air is the tallest, adding another half inch or more to the total height. Height: This will vary between 6-7 inches depending on the stance you choose.
