First product ready is a set of accurate, highly detailed, one-part, domed, 4-meter SL-8 Rangerfinders for heavy warships of the Bismarck, Scharnhorst and Hipper classes as well as the planned H-Klasse super-battleships and the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. These rangefinders were very conspicuous features and most kits' rangefinders are out of scale, lack detail and/or have seams that are difficult to smooth.
These are available now in 1/100 (set of four), 1/200 (set of two and set of four), 1/350 (set of four), 1/400 (set of four), 1/570 (set of twelve), 1/600 (set of twelve) and 1/700 (set of twelve). [edited to include 1/100, 1/200, 1/400, 1/570 and 1/600]

Some part cleanup will be necessary. During the 3D printing process, a waxy substance is used to support certain part features. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways afterwards, some waxy residue may remain. It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like �Dawn� dishwashing detergent, baby shampoo (no conditioner) or "Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners. Customers report that "Bestine" and "Goo Gone" also work well.
During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light. Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured. Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin before painting.
Once your parts are fully cured, if desired, careful use of an inexpensive �air eraser� emitting common household baking soda can help smooth surfaces and remove any unwanted �frost�. Similar to an airbrush but much cheaper, air erasers can be found on Amazon.com. Models by Harbor Freight and Paasche are popular.
Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
