Thanks Steve!

Wow! Amazing, indeed.

:big_grin:

Thanks Gabriel!

That is simply amazing

Thanks Jim,

The model overall is 120mm (4.75in) long. The red linen name plate is 30mm (1.25in) for scale.

speedbird by name.... :big_grin:

==> impressive result and good overall look

Paint certainly sharpened up the " printed " start point

interesting and amusing! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks!

It's their new high-def black that Shapeways is using. There aren't any print lines it looks injection molded.

You must have very good eyes to do that!! A shame I cannot make 1/350 models to look as good! :cry_3:
By the way, the 3d printed ship look so nice. I could barely see any print lines! What material was it printed in?

Kong? is finished:

Wow :thumbs_up_1: I have a hard enough time seeing my 1/700 stuff even with an optivisor. How do you do it in 1/1800? It looks fantastic!

Shapeways and Toms Modelworks PE. It's the 1/1200 set, the difference in scale is really miniscule.

DAMN! That is nice!

That's fantastic! Which printing service did you use? And whose PE?

Thanks!

There are some small gaps in the PE, there will be some platforms or stairs in these locations.
