SHAPEWAYS, US "Catalina" Flying Boat

Any possibillty to share the stl files?
I have access to a really nice DLP printer and would love to print them.

@georgemak1:

I ended up buying the global set leaders, I already painted them. The detail on the sculps isnt anything extraordinary, but they look nice, and you can use them in the game as leaders. The only bad thing they all came in a zip bag, and it was really hard to tell which sculp for each country. I think the naval leaders are all the same sculp.

Thanks for sharing the photos! Yes, there was an initial problem with the global set naval leaders sculpts; there were supposed to be three different sculpts (dress whites, dress blues, and Japanese admirals) but instead only two made it into the set (dress whites and Japanese admirals). I fixed that about three or four weeks ago as soon as I discovered the problem, so any future sales will receive the proper set. I’m sorry for the mix-up on your order! And yes, I agree it is hard to tell the pieces apart when they are received from Shapeways. I’ve thought about putting some sort of nation or unit identifier on the bottom of the base, but am waiting to see if sales or interest picks up on them before I spend any more time or money on them; thus far sales to anyone not named EBard have been very underwhelming, which doesn’t entirely surprise me given Shapeways costs and the need to paint the pieces.

That’s great news!!! I can hardly wait!!!

Richard,

––Again, nice paintjobs!

----If you don’t mind me  asking, were these units made using (FUD) frosted ultra detail plastic?

Tall Paul

I believe I did.  I should of spent a little more to get a smooth finish.  These will do, but going forward I will spend the money and get what is a nicer finish.
**––Yep,…it sounds like we both agree that spending the extra bucks to have units produced in FROSTED ULTRA DETAIL (FUD) plastic is EXTREMELY WORTH the additional cost,…not to mention the end result looks SOO much better than the rough surfaces of lesser materials.
----And BTW, your paint jobs are great!.

Thanks for the compliments

I know a producer in Germany, who could deliver a mixture of white dashed and continous lines decals (s. picture). One decal consists of 23 white lines, each of 125 mm length and 0,75mm width, where each decal is EUR 3,50. A direct shipping from the producer to the U.S. would be very expensive, it is about EUR 35,-. If you are interested in, I can order the decals and send it to you personally. This will cause shipping costs of roundabout EUR 10 (depending on the weight…).

The decal is a digital print, that is, you have to cut out the lines. More pleasant would be a screen print, then each line is spearated from the others as a distinct decal in the printing process.

The producer also offers an individual development of decals, but I don’t know how much this is in EUR or $. If you are interested in I will ask.

Everyone,

----These fine paintjobs were completed by a very talented painter by the name of Chad Coffman, a.k.a. “Allworkandnoclay” who’s AWESOME paintwork is known to everyone here on A&A.Org. I hope you enjoy them.

Guys,

––Well, our intelligence officers are telling us that a group of twenty(20)
Russian Rifle Infantry (Winter scheme) have just completed training(painting) and are ready for deployment in Siberia or elsewhere in NorthEast Asia. Some might get transferred to Scandinavia, at least until HBG releases their 'Winter War" expansion set for their Global Warfare 1939 game. IMHO “Allworkandnoclay” did a gret job on these soldiers. Enjoy!
