NZEOD Posted September 12, 2016 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.
mickyg Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Links man, links! Which "carrier crew" dost thou speak of?

I've been following this guys work over here for a little while now: http://zone-five.net/showthread.php?t=29992 I thought that's what you were referring to after I read your initial comments. The guy has some really great stuff, doesn't he?
NZEOD Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 I'll let you know in 1 hour... heading home on the Daytona now to give them a quick dust over with some fine detail primer to see what I can see...
NZEOD Posted September 13, 2016 Author Posted September 13, 2016 Trying to get decent ones but failing.

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
