Well it's NOT up to ME
It's up to you.
As Clay told us, both techniques has pros and cons..
Rough resin pull would be a cheaper. But NOT a LOT cheaper.
Yeah an unworked resin pull would be even MORE cheaper..BUT:
To create resin casts, we need to make a mold (and we are talking about lots of them here..(extra cost) and the pulls will need some DEFINITE work on them..lots of bondo..filling, sanding (time)..and Metal coating as done by Applied Metal technique. (extra cost) etc.
Luckily Greivous has some resin colored "bone" parts in the movie, so with some good weathering we will be able to get them right. (Skull, and armor parts)
Metal would be expensive, but NOT that expensive.. Once you shell out some good amount of money on a project like this..I don't think that some extra would be that much to make it whole metal. + Since we want to make it accurate and articulated..metal would not only look cooler but more stronger than resin..so no possible damage if you drop an arm of it on floor..since it will have some real thin parts (especially on the arms) But I can't say the same for resin..it can break more easily..And metal will last a LOT longer compared to resin..and that "cold" feeling and shine of the metal is always a huge plus.
Once we have a breakdown of the costs..we will be able to say what it will cost to produce it in metal and in resin..If it makes no sense to make it resin..I would definetaly go with metal.
Also for the complexity of parts that can be created with CNC, please visit Clay's website (www.appliedmetal) and look under the videos for the complexity of the parts that can be created 3-d with the machine
