Here's my limited experience for what it's worth: I've done several shapeways models in
WSF but the grain of the material and lack of detail always left something to be desired. I had heard stories of
FUD being too brittle and for a long time didn't try it. Since then I've seen some WWII models first hand that my brother picked up in
FUD, and they aren't as brittle as I was afraid of. I went ahead and ordered an Eindecker and a Sopwith Pup in
FUD and I think it will be just fine. I haven't painted them yet so things may change, but the
FUD models don't seem to me to be any more fragile than the regular Nexus or Ares models. No, you would want to drop a
FUD model on the floor, but I don't go dropping my Nexus or Ares models on the floor either... they would break just as easily I think.
I can't say how well a 20 cm model will fare, but if you already treat your models with care then there isn't anything to be afraid of with the smaller models in
FUD, in my opinion.
