One of the best Nid proxies available:
http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4591.0

Those are nice, but how on earth are you supposed to know that you can order them from that website? Looked around and can't see an order section??

Size comparison pic of the Grim Dark Cruiser next to a SM Strike Cruiser. (I'm lag wagon and finally got around to pulling mine out of storage).

The other picture shows FUD printing detail pretty well. There's some questions people occasionally have popped up about Shapeways Materials. IMO Frosted Ultra Detail or go home.

Would have to agree. Frosted Ultra Detail or go home.

Got a pair of "white" ones and the texture is like a really bad primer job - very grainy all over. I tried a very heavy coat of primer, but it did not help. May try to add Imperial cruiser batteries to the sides, but I suspect that these will probably become Nurgle ships.

Though oddly enough, SWF with the sandpaper texture works better for things like buildings (unless the design is highly detailed) to give some texture to things. :)

Is there anyway to get Zeus prows or user made Light cruisers anymore?

Ya Works Raptor are sweet looking. The new Kedorians would make great space stations/ orbital docks/ weapons platforms.

Those stations look awesome!

By the way, are there any interesting Ork proxy models out there? I really dislike the 'giant goldfish' design of the official models.

Spartan posted them on Facebook, I think theyre in the gallery now too. Im thinking of getting some though, depends on what the final stat lines look like, I cant say much but I think its safe to say they play like nothing else in FA right now.

Not sure about any orks, most people scratch build them.
