Gods to see these getting some traction - I'd definitely be up for some of the Tau stuff in resin...

This stuff looks really great, but is there any chance that you produce it outside shapeways and make it at a lower price point?

I was browsing the prices today, and... it was quite a bit more than I expected.

I completely understand if that is the price point it needs to stay at, if that is the case.

I doubt there's much markup on those prints (if any). 3D printing is convenient, not cheap.
Any thoughts to partnering up with someone to get these in resin, perhaps?

Something is wrong. These did not print from your shapeways store

I'm so sorry that were my mistake. The divisions of the windows above the doors were too weak according to Shapeways.
I corrected it as soon as possible but Shapeways cancelled your orders without giving me some time to make the corrections.

All the models should be fine by now.

Man, you'd better be casting those buildings and/or do a crowdfunding campaign to get them into production because the prices on Shapeways are just overkill. I know it's not your fault, since the production costs are just very high, but no way I'm going to pay about €100 for a single building. ;-)

Due to my current financial state the only possibility available for me is to put the models on Shapeways.
When I'll have the money I will print the master pieces and make them (and many more ;) )available for you in resin.

Exactly! Try to get a external partner (like Wasteland Game Studios) to take care of casting and distribution. Right now you're trapped in a catch 22: you need money to produce but will have a hard time making money selling the products through Shapeways since the prices are so high.

I've just wrote a letter. I give it a try...

(By the way over the last year I've contacted with Evil & Chaos (and Troublemaker Games also), Onslaught Miniatures, Tabletop Workshop, Tabletop World, Chapterhouse Studios, Micro Art Studio, Secret Weapon and Eureka, most of them does not even replied me. :()

They sell minis and related stuff themselves. I am not particularly surprised. If your stuff fits a niche that one of these have no interest in pursuing, or better still, is in need of to complement what they already have, then you might have a chance.
