Look in the painting showcase. There are some nice SE5a's in there.

In the Hobby Room, look at the dedicated 'Shapeways' section -

try here : https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sh...ce-Preparation

then have a scan through the other associated threads.

Good luck, and remember to post photos of your finished minis!

thank you all

Sort of depends on what 'finish' you chose for your planes - if you got White Strong Flexible, there will be more involved with the prep. If you got Frosted Ultra Detail or one of the other more expensive finishes, there should be less prep needed. The link Tim posted above is a good one. Good luck!

All the best,
Matt

And... as you discover things that work well or things that completely fail (oops, it melted the plastic!), please share your wisdom and add to the two stickied threads in the Shapeways sub-forum!

Another place to scan is the Shapeways forums: https://www.shapeways.com/forum/f/fi...techniques.95/
