As of the 29th Shapeways will be applying new prices that in many instances will not affect my models because I have been preparing for the changes (some prices will even go down). However, their new formula is NOT entirely as they warned and some of my models are set to suffer VERY SIGNIFICANT price rises.
In particular my larger Flying Boats in 1/700 and 1/600 scales will increase in price - the bigger the model the bigger the price rise. These are the...
Short S23 Empire
Boeing B314 and all variants
Martin JRM1 Mars and all variants
ALSO, please note that if you are a devotee of Smoothest Fine Detail plastic, the price of this material leaps up across the board, for all models.
I must repeat though that most of my models are not adversely affected, the Ford Trimotor Set of Three in 1:700 scale just as an example, actually comes down in price a little.
Sadly, the big flying boats are among my most popular items and I am very disappointed to see these price changes. I will do what I can to offset the increases and try out alternative materials to see if I can get them back to being good value for money as well as great little models! I am sorry not to have been able to give you more advanced warning.
All the best and Happy Modelling
