Nation- (and City-) Specific Victory City Markers

@ossel:

Let me know what you guys think, obviously I can do more detail but this is going to be a tiny piece so I’m not sure how much will be visible.  As always, I welcome feedback and input. I’m thinking of dropping the “wing” buildings on the sides of the gate.

Dropping the wing buildings would allow each iconic structure to be a bit larger, and therefore possibly more detailed, which could be a good trade-off.  The samples look absolutely great so far, but “wingless” versions might be better.  Glad to see that putting the name under the base works well.

Ah, I see – I misunderstood.  I thought you meant the surrounding small buildings which, I agree, do add a certain urban charm to the markers.

keep the smaller buildings

@ossel:

Washington D.C.

Really like how this one came out.

Wow, I like this one. You can see all the details. Man, that it is awesome. :-D

@ossel:

Yeah, I like this version better.

Next…LONDON   :-D

I agree, slimming them down, made it better! :-)

These are really shaping up nicely!  Great work!

@ossel:

London!

Wow, that stands out nicely. Well done, my friend. :-D

Impressive!  I could almost believe that it includes an imbedded microchip that plays Big Ben’s chimes every hour!

Ossel & other’s,

––The artwork for these “City Markers” is absolutely GREAT! I am DEFINATELY SOLD on them,…just please make sure we have options for the different levels of plastic available. The one rule that I’ve learned with ordering units from Shapeways is: I ALWAYS order them in the most detailed plastic available. This way they have EXCELLENT detail and aren’t a rough suface.
----Great job on this worthwhile effort!

@ossel:

Heck, if you wanted to get the Victory City Marker Set “Donald Trump Edition”, you could drop $480 each for 14K gold!Â

To Donald Trump, mere 14K gold is probably the equivalent of the cheap-grade plastic mentioned by TP.

These are shap-ways ing up nicely.  :-P

I agree that the hi res plastic is great for detail and smoothness, but these are modeled in a way that I think getting one in something like steel wouldn’t be too bad. (even if it is 3x the cost of plastic) Plus they’d have a nice heft to them which always gives parts a quality feel.
