Here's the workman:
Anyway, you can see from the slicer output what you can expect the quality to be like, more or less.
Also note that you can expect each figure to take 2+ hours to print at the given size.
M2 vs Shapeways?
Re: M2 vs Shapeways?
Your STLs have some issues. After cleanup, they seem to be able to print, but at the default size (x25.4 for inch to mm conversion), some features are too small to be printable using the default nozzle.
Here's the workman: And the slice: You can see that the there are many features of the hat that are too small to be sliced. I think that comes from the hat being added on as a separate mesh with some very small features. There are similar weirdnesses in the foreman model around the wrists.

Re: M2 vs Shapeways?
If you only want to do 1:29 figurines in house, an DLP/SLA printer would be your best bet. they will cost more in the long run than an M2 for sure, but they have the detail that you're looking for.
Re: M2 vs Shapeways?
Thanks for the slice picture. Obviously not quite the detail I need. For now I will stick to shapeways and perhaps up the resolution. The whole idea is to make masters I for resin molds.
