yeah. fakebusker designed something special for me a few weeks ago, he uploaded the files, I ordered that same day and had the part in hand 2 days later

 

Heavens, I'll give up one fin of mine to live in NY. My latest SW order was supposed to come in yesterday and there's no sign of it yet  

Now I know who to look for if I need to get something tested faaast.

 

yes. please send all designs to me for testing  
you know I'd get them weeks before you...

 

Wow! Not only is this looking great, it's priced quite reasonably.

Are these easy to paint?

 

Something special eh? Ya got my intrigued /offtopic?

 

Hi Transformed, Shapeways material is generally easy to paint, just like most model kit plastics. You just need to do the usual things like priming, light coats of paint and protective clear coats. No worries!

 

Got mine!!!!!

 

I ordered one in WSF polished. I'll see how it turns out when it arrives.

 

Thanks. Please keep me/us posted.

 

anyone order in transparent detail?

someone told me to order transparent for him to paint it but im not sure if thats the best choice

 

All I ever order.....

 

Will do!!  

 

You know Fakebusker,this is great. I know I'll buy one,and I hate to be "that guy,"but is that new "hand of a prime" arm for Megatron on your agenda?

 

Thanks a lot for the reply  I've been distracted with other parts of the forum of late.

 

Nice. The original fusion cannon doesn't look too bad though, albeit its largeness.

 

I've never ordered something from Shapeways before, so I have to ask, when I order one, will it be painted? Thanks!

 

Shapeways does provide dyed variants of their Strong Flexible material, and their Alumide material is a natural silvery gray, but it will do you best to purchase standard White Strong Flexible and do the painting yourself. It will end up looking much better.

 

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I'm not much of a painter at all, but this set is awesome. I'll think of something.

 

Well I got mine in WSF polished. It actually came out pretty decent. It does fit together a little loose, but considering it will get painted that's probably actually a good thing. It does still hold together on it's own. The blade turned out quite nicely. The area you have to push the pin into to hold the blade on was still pretty tight even in WSF polished, so I did have to trim that a little. But overall it all fits quite nicely and looks GREAT!!! I won't be able to paint mine until warm weather returns, but fakebusker did an amazing job on this thing.

 

Thanks for sharing, Mugen!
Polished WSF does look sharp on that model, and I'm glad the fitting turned out right!

Too bad about the weather though. I'd like to see them painted up all nice and stuff.
