Take a look through Shapeways catalog http://www.shapeways.com/ They've got everything, including the kitchen sink, in any scale you can think of! I'm doing more and more shopping there for 1/48, 1/72, 1/144 figures and all kinds of accessories. :wave_1:

Eventually such technology will make one question just what is scratch building.

Yup. They're in like the playing Castle Wolfenstein stage now. I'm sure in 5 years we'll really be tripping.

It's not stated what scale this is; 1/700 or smaller? I'm not familiar with this type of gunboat. Is this a single piece printing? :wave_1:

Check out this 3D printed Charleston Class Gunboat! Look at how big it is, erm how small it is! The detail is really getting up there :cool_1:

I'm not sure what's cooler, the amount of detail in it or the fact that they made such a rare subject.
