NZEOD Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just received the first set of deck crew from Shapeways in 1/72 scale Printed in FUD my impressions, giving my expectations werent overly high given the level, or lack of, detail on the Fujimi and Hasegawa crew kits... WOW!!!! On initial inspection the level of detail is OF THE CHARTS!! I can see raised thumbs, creased T Shirts under the jackets, boom mics, googles and earmuffs in exceptional clarity! I'll post up the photos tonight. My next question will be if Shapeways can invert the file to print them again in mirror to increase the pose options.

The guy has some really great stuff, doesn't he? SOOOOO wish you hadnt posted that up... Wanting to build the CVN-99 Asuka II deck in 1/72 now and nail it to a wall in one of the kids rooms. Full deck would be 7152mm long so it would have to be the Cat section only... and maybe the rear section on another wall... Perfect place to display the ES-11D Cats eye... on Cat 1! Asked the wife... she sighed and just hung up the phone. Odd. Edited September 13, 2016 by NZEOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
