Instead of posting new thread after new thread on the forums. I am just going to keep up-dating this one with new models / meshes. Most of these you can find on Shapeways.com with a key word search for Robotech.
This is a very basic Chamber, there is a more detailed one called version 2.
For those that want three that are fuse together in a chain.

Military Heavy Lifter
This one took me longer than I thought it would. A little over 10 hours of work and pushing the limits on the fine details in Shapeways. |

One thing I don't like about doing large buildings. When you hit a certain building volume in Shapeways it becomes to pricy. |

What if you used shape ways to build the buildings then create resin molds from the positives and cast the rest at a cheaper cost? I bet you'd be able to sell a lot more of them.

What if you used shape ways to build the buildings then create resin molds from the positives and cast the rest at a cheaper cost? I bet you'd be able to sell a lot more of them. It is a sound Idea In theory but to costly for me to invest into the process. $40 for the model, $I5-35 for the latex for the mold, another $50 or so for the frame and resin. Easily talking over 120 in supplies for just this one peice. Granted same cost as buying 3 of them and yet you could make more with resin. My problem is the fact I dont want to do this with just one model but them all. The plan is to save up for a 3D printer and just produce what is needed. All those resin molds would need more space than what I have. In the time a resin casting would need to safely cure a 3D printer could make multiples on the same model with out the oder or the chemical clean up, plus the ware and tear on the molds etc... Cost wise going this route would be at the very least 40% cheaper than shapeways. |

Time to get some VF Armaments ready for service. I also created a 6 Pack so anyone can equip an entire squadron out. |

I also have a 6 Pack available which is enough to equip a squadron of three VF's in both Fighter & Guardian Modes. |

I feel there is a demand for some Custom 40mm Bases. |

Those are awesome. They're of course gigantic in the pictures, and then teeeeeny tiny when they arrive.
Wouldn't a 6 pack of missiles only be enough for 3 planes and 3 guardians?

It depends on how you want to configure your missile load outs. From what I have seen the Micro Missiles are normally configured 2 to a VF. So when I build out a pack I am keeping this in mind. You can configure them however you want. And yes, these are tiny but more heftier than the standard missiles that come with the models.

So it's enough for 4 Valkyries.

Just curious, are you planning on doing any of the missile pod mounts for the artillary pods?

At some point I would like to be able to offer up replacement parts.

Could you offer these in different materials? I don't like the grainy material that is the only choice you have these avaiable in.

White Strong and Flexible Polished or Frosted Detail? Let me know which one's you would want in this material and I will add it, by tomorrow night. The only down side with Polished is it may loose some of the embossed detail since the process can shave off some layers during the polishing process.

Ooooff! is that what the real finished product looks like? Wow, it looks like that thing has been through a blizzard or a volcano eruption.

Depends on the material used. The cheaper the material, the rougher the finished product usually ends up being. 3D printing is great, but it's still got some issues when it comes to fine detail and smooth surfaces.

I see what you mean. Only issue with polished material and relation to the big Radar Dish, is it very well might rip it off during the process. I will slowly add other material options to all of my model line.
