New by Tiny-Model-World (?) in 1/700:

[b]Vietnamese Gepard 3.9 frigate[/b]

I've bought some as well. They're very good.

From what I have seen, Brown Water Navy Miniatures uses a resin printer, which produces better results than Shapeways. I have only bought files myself. The quality of the designs has also improved, as the designer is no longer restricted by Shapeways.

Guy is very easy to deal with.. The models arrive undamaged, which is BIG difference from Shaoeways. Prices are lower Great shopping experience all around.

What are they like to work with compared with Shapeways prints?

Thanks,

Rob

[quote="Roberto"]Interesting how 99.5% of the 3D printed news are from one person and limited to 1/700 or smaller, while there are hundreds of 1/350 subjects available on the parallel market.[/quote]
Yes - interesting. Apparently, the 1/350 community has no motivation to inform each other about news. But it is able to complain about its own inactivity :thinking:
