Thanks! I am thrilled that you guys like the ship so much. I have also been meaning to make some blasters to plug into the sides of the wings. but I put 5mm peg holes there so you can put any TF blaster you want. I have also been pondering doing a tank or some kind of ground-to-air assault vehicle...
Thanks! There are actually several people who have similar slingshots on shapeways. I guess the main difference with mine is that it has a couple of little notches on the top parts so I could put the band across and have it stay in place. It's not cartoon accurate, but I like it better this way. I chose the blue band specifically to look like some kind of energon-band-thingy.
Nice head on Arcee...are you planning on doing other female Transformer heads...and...appropriate accessories for them...that seems to be an underserved market...too niche for 3P...and...just not in the wheelhouse of most Shapeways etc. types of designer...
You meantioned being concerned about shapeways test printing. You can list items as untested or as a beta. Untested stuff i used to list at cost and ask buyers for feedback and pics. Once you get a few positives then you raise the price to what you think your profit should be. The hard part is really designing the models which you did already. Since youve made some adjustments and printed them at home the shapeways autocheck shouldnt give you too much hassel (it does this when you upload). All that is free and making an account there is easy. Your stuff is pretty awesome and you clearly have skills. I would definately look at listing the vehicles. BScorpinok75 is right about the fembot stuff too. Good luck!
Thanks for the info! I was on the fence about making shapeways store. This makes me feel better about it.
YES! So if you get that ship (does not need the red guns, btw, as it is perfect "as is" in my eyes) up, I'm in for ordering one
Any requests? I'd like to do more fembot heads and accessories but I don't currently have alot of ideas besides just making up my own characters. I think I figured out how to do a better job with the faces by splitting them into separate parts - face and helmet. and I made some improvements to the headmaster head too: however I think I'm going to start posting some of the 3D renders since my printer sometimes doesn't represent the model very well. I think shapeways would do a better job:
Well...not necessarily Head or Titanmasters...but...Firestar would be a neat femme head to do...as she has a few molds from previous lines that would suit her near perfectly with little modding other than a head, an energon axe & maybe some tertiary color touchups...or...stickers...
Awesome-NESS...!!!... Yesssss...they do...!!!... Nicely done... and...IDW Greenlight, IDW Lancer & Dreamwave Vibes would be other fems that'd be neat to do heads for. Vibes is basically FOC Sideswipe with a new head. A Junkion Nancy head would be neat. As would an Ariel head for that TF Prime NYCC Arcee. And, an Alana head for Timelines Elita One.
