A "little" add on to the Colonial Movers

[moffeaton]

A buddy of mine just dropped off a grown Mk.II Viper, to scale with the Colonial Movers I plan to build after the holidays - I'm aiming to recreate the Hand of God scene, where a squad of Vipers is revealed hiding inside the white cargo box!

It won't cost all that much to get the whole squad grown, and I can light the cockpits since the material is translucent and frosty...

 

[Shadowknight]

Awesome. I can't wait to see this.

Kawaii!

 

[Wolvster1]

Seriously, pretty cool and looking forward
to the build photos ! :thumbsup

Make sure you swallow that hole Jason, its the only way you'll get better!

Who & how do you make something that small?

 

[EvanW]

Sweet! Can you share where he had that done? I may be looking to "grow" a few eagles for my Moonbase Alpha kit

PCS Engineering Inc. Where I work. I wil be doing these for Jason. He was considering makeing a mold and casting them but it would actually cost more to do that then have me print up a full tray.

Jeff is THE MAN!

Sweet,

I have heard of the process of "growing" objects, but I have not formally pursued it. Can I PM you for details and the availability of services? Requirements, etc.

Thanks,

Yes. at PCS we grow or 3d print a bunch of models from GK's like JT-Graphics (Me), Bad-Azz, Timeslip, Gizmotron and a few others. I do the quoting now as well

Why not just Mold that and cast in CLEAR?

 

[Contec]

Why not just Mold that and cast in CLEAR?

my guess is airbubbles and the trouble that can be avoided by growing them instead of having to make a mold and then cast over and over again.

 

[ghostryder]

Can a complex shape like that be grown in one piece? Or was this a few that were put together?

 

[moffeaton]

Yep - all in one piece. Amazing!!

And Frank, that was my plan, but it's literally cheaper to grow a tray of these!!

 

[Legion]

I thought you were joking about them being "grown." Seriously? How is that possible?

Cheers,

Guy

 

[ghostryder]

When you "grow" something like this, what does the actual, physical cutting? A laser? Or is it some other process?

I think we are talking about 3D printing... this company do it.
