Hey Fellas... hope you don't mind if I resurrect this thread for a little bit... Here is a shot of something I did... I did the pricing on getting this printed out on the same machine I am getting my Y Wing parts printed on versus ordering the materials from plastruct. The difference is $5, which is well worth it IMO. Imagine buying the materials and then paying someone $5 to build it PERFECTLY. The 3D model is not quite finished. I am going to slice the hemisphere section to accommodate the DV TIE window frame, and make the grooves in the body tubes. Then, after it's printed all I need to do is sand it down. I sanded the printed Y parts, and with a Squadron Tri-Grit sanding stick, you can polish this stuff smooth. The finish comes out VERY nice.
When I get it, I will post pics, of course. I may offer it for sale, if enough people are pleased with the result. And if I figure out how I would make a mold of it...
