    Thanks for the update Henry. I'll definitely check it out, but pricing on the Shapeways Shop can be a significant issue.

    I'm not going to deny that - the reason I closed the shop in the first place was because I thought their prices were a bloomin' con!


    But, since there's no fulfillment options on the horizon, I've opened it up as the next best thing...


    Not bothering with figures, though, as it's just obscene - the cheapest setup I can manage is $0.90 per soldier at 10mm!

    Yeah that update had me fuming! At first I thought it was just stupid wasting money on change for the sake of change (because I couldn't even get the site to work at all on my browser) but then I realised it's probably an attempt at moneygrabbing through getting more people to pay for hi-res images...


    Foooortunately, being an obsessive sort, I had already downloaded hundreds of plans, so I've enough to probably keep me going the rest of my career!

    I completely understand. Surely for some of us who don't have 3D printers something is better than nothing. And finally if Ares and Warlord Games can't or won't produce certain ship models this is the only alternative. Cheers!
