So for some time i have been working on this cruiser project. I'd like to see what interest lies in this. The video in the link is a space ship i have been working on, as the title says it is cruiser size and on the gaming board will come in at 8.5cm in length. The square gun nozels in the middle of the ship have been replaced by an atenna cluster.

I would like to know what kind of interest their is in people buying some of these ships, the reason being is to print this in FUD it will cost $50, plus probably another $30-$45 in silicone. I have investd already, $180 upto this point. Now FUD is good and all, but it has striations still and stepping, i would need to either let the detail stay marred or try and sand it away possibly damaging the master. My other option is to print in the new wax that shapeways offers, the print quality is amazing and their should be little to know print mistakes. To print in wax though will cost $150. So if there is enough interest i would like to print this in wax, and if enough interest comes about i would like to do escorts, aircraft, and even a battleship sized miniature.

Hmm, have you tried hollowing out the design a bit? Considering you have to cast it and all, it might then be best to keep the walls at around 3mm thick. It could help you save money when ordering the wax print.

It has been hollowed out, it's been cut into 4 pieces so it can be cast without undercuts. Thats what the finished design will look like.

Have you considered doing a very small Kickstarter? Ramshackle games did something similar for their tanks as well, meaning they only set the money thing to around $500 or something, and then added some stretchgoals. You could do something similar just to cover those costs, and that way you'll also get to find out if people would actually want to buy your stuff.

Long time wait for this to be completed. I had to do some final changes to the render and then splurged on a FUD print. Small print lines are visable with a really up close inspeciton, but i am very happy with the results. I've still not mastered the split mould technique.













C&C welcome, these are available for purchase as well just shoot me a message.

I see foul xenos scuttling around in that ship in my mind. Target lances!
