My Shapeway Models
« on: February 10, 2013, 07:28:47 PM »
Here's a little project I have been working on for the last week-- the USS Argonaut.

I'll be purchasing one in the coming weeks to see how it turns out.

I was able to convert Ricky Wallace's ST 2009 Klingon battlecruiser and make it a small miniature.  Haven't gotten it painted or anything yet, but it turned out pretty well, all things considered.  The only worrisome thing is the neck at the small scale, it's very thin.  Not sure just how fragile it is.

After having to re-upload my model due to brittle areas of the mesh (the pylons were too thin), I got confirmation this morning that the "robots are working their magic" and are making my Argonaut miniature!

if those pylons dont work, you could always try scratch building them with styrene

"I've had a few things printed by Shapeways lately. I'm still "testing" to see which materials work the best. I'm mostly doing props though. But I love their work and how easy and low cost they are.

Turned out pretty good Wiley!  May have to get me one to go along with the JJ K'Tinga and Odyssey.

Only downside is that Shapeways has a minimum order of $25.
