Thread: Planned planes from Shapeways

  1. #1

    Default Planned planes from Shapeways

    Picked this up from the Yahoo WOW Nexus group.
    Dont know how accurate it is.

    For those of us who are "modelling challenged", some planes planned "in
    the near future" from Kampfflieger/Shapeways:

    Bristol F2B
    HP 0/400

    In the not-so near future

    Felixstowe F2b

    In the 'it seems a really good idea" category

    Sykorsky Ilya Muromets

    I saw that too. It would be nice I guess to have the models that aren't already available from other sources done first (esp. the Felixstowe) but beggars can't be choosers

    If only I could get that hang of 3D modelling I'd give this a bash myself.

    Looks ok to me, although I agree that I would have liked to have seen some hard to find items say the Halberstadt and Roland single seaters

    I'm looking forward to reports of the Caproni. I think the Shapeways fabrication process definitely suits itself towards the larger models rather than the smaller scouts.

    Of course, just my luck that he will be next doing the two that I have from Skytrex on the bench getting bashed together!

    Oh yeah, the Muromets!! Can't wait for the HP 0/400. My Caproni has arrived! It was very well done that I ordered another one. Next, try my hand at painting them. It's been over 25 years since I've painted model airplanes, but I got the bug!
