I Like your styling Phil, I'd love one, chrome about 75mm (3") long, for the desk ;)
Keep em coming!

Hi Phil,

Really lovely model,

Just wondering, what are the rules you have to follow to make a model 3d print friendly ? I know nothing about this process but it's really interresting.
(I would love to print some of my models too :))

The model has to be a solid or else it won't print. You should also not model any part that is less than the printers recommended tolerence. Where I get my stuff done, that minimum is around 1 mm thick. So the nose spike is 1.2 mm diameter and the wings at their thinnest points are greater than 1 mm as well.

Hi Phil,

Is that 2 inches from tip to tip ? pewter is ok I could polish it to a lustre, keep us in touch.
I was thinking something along the lines of the picture attached :)

Thanks Phil for your reply. Just need to find a printing service in Europe now :)

Have you looked at www.shapeways.com?

Perfect !!! Can't wait to try a couple of models :)

Thanks Phil.

Wonderful service indeed!

Here's an update on the actual casting along with the smaller fighter of the same faction.

Sweet!

These look gorgeous, great job. I am going to start doing some prototyping myself, my work just purchased a Z-650 printer from Z-corp and we have been setting up the last two days and we now have models coming out. A real sense of accomplishment when you can actually hold a thing that you have made.

So cool Phil !

Cheers

Golden age :)

Damn, I WANT ONE!

Uh, I just have to try and remember not to sit on it! (The tip is hella point! :-P )

I'm amazed the tip cast properly. And yes...it's sharp.

Beautiful work Phil...I look forward to seeing the whole fleet as you progress.
