thank you for your assistance You often hear artists complaining about payment, working for exposure that sort of thing. What you don’t often see mentioned is people taking advantage of businesses or how to spot it. There is a very large market for consulting; many make their living from it and you’ll see why this is important later on. A recent contact in our industry shows what in the Internet world would be called a phishing scam. ... The email below seems legitimate on first reading but is misleading and is proved with the writer’s last paragraph. "We are in the process of developing a 36mm truescale miniatures tabletop game and are now at the stage where we are looking to begin casting small volumes of a couple of our miniature designs in resin. We have 3D sculpts of the miniatures that have already been prototyped by being 3D printed using an SLA process, and we have already successfully prototyped the resin master mini -> silicone production mold -> resin production mini process using a pressure chamber capable of 60+ PSI" WTH is Truescale? Did you just make that upAnyway the first paragraph shows that they already know how the process works. They’ve printed their designs made molds and produced copies of their work in resin. And most importantly they have the equipment to do it. "We are currently looking for a mold maker to produce master molds for these first two miniatures. Firstly, we would like to know whether you can produce master molds directly from digital 3D sculpts. Secondly, we were wondering if you'd be able to give us a rough idea for what the rough ballpark cost would be to get master molds made for one multipart ~36mm tall miniature and one ~72mm tall multipart miniature." This is the bait paragraph. Wow 2 molds, cool I can get that new thingamajig I wanted. Wait a sec you have made your own molds why would you be soliciting me? Hmmm. "Finally, while we understand that the conventional process for producing resin miniatures is to start with a negative master mold, cast a resin master miniature from it, and then use the resin master miniature to create silicone production molds, we were wondering whether it is feasible to create positive master molds from which you could directly cast the halves of silicone production molds, eliminating the intermediary step of producing a master miniature in resin and embedding it in clay? Thanks in advance for your assistance," And finally in the 3rd paragraph the phishing takes place. They’ve inquired about your prices and getting some work but here is what they are really after. Remember they have their own equipment and used it to make product but they can’t figure out the (rather simple) answer to improving their system. This is where your/our knowledge and experience have value. Value that his company is trying to get for free with a mere thank you for your assistance.
