(BFG) Shapeways Explorer and Hero
« on: July 18, 2014, 04:17:53 AM »
Is anyone able to comment on the quality of the Explorer and Hero Class models available from Shapeways? I prefer the design of the Shapeways Explorer to the meltal model.

Not sure how this guy hasn't got stomped yet for blatantly copying GW's models. Cruisers/BC's look overpriced but the frigates seem a pretty good deal based on the ebay prices I've seen recently. I'd also love a quick review if anyone's gone ahead and bought any of his products. How do they stack up in terms of quality and similarity to the actual models? How did you find the pricing and shipping?

I haven't ordered from him specifically but from another store on Shapeways and shipping was pretty fair.
