The original design had some interesting antennae action on the turret. I left them off since they wouldn't survive the print process, but it would look nice in a render. I'll probably use some etched brass pieces on the real thing.

Here's a quick render, I don't have the time to really shade it (textures, uv's etc ...)
Let me know if you're looking for an other point of view, or a bigger shot

Here is a bit of a fun render in Carrara 6 Pro.

Here's the result of using GrowIt to make the 3D print. Their resolution wasn't as good as I hoped, so for now on I'm going to continue using Todd Boyce / NinjaMagic.

You can also try printapart.com. Not as fine a finish as NinjaMagics machine, but the prints are more durable, and the detail IS sharper than the Objet. What layering there is, covers fine with primer/paint.

I as well, have been disappointed with the objet finish. The details seem to 'melt' a bit.
