Good call, Paul.

You seem to be able to read my mind. :-) We have been studying it (also pressed metal) for a while. There are some restrictions to both types, and initial cost may be an obstacle. But given enough quantity, final products may not be neccessarrly more expensive than PE.

The most difficult thing is that you can't do these things in a backyard. Need to contract a high-end tooling company for such works. But normally these companies are not doing scale models, and it will take a while to get them understand the requirement of scale models.
