    New Starship Models From Foreven Shipyards!

    If you just paint them grey, and then do a black wash, the detail will really show and they will look good on the table. No painting skills needed! :D

    New Starship Models From Foreven Shipyards!

    The pricing for Shapeways printing isn't strictly by volume, especially when it comes to the small craft. They have a base price and factor in linear dimensions as well. The Modular Cutter is being worked on!

    New Starship Models From Foreven Shipyards!

    They are 3D printed by Shapeways and only available at the 1:1000 scale. You are correct about the cost going up greatly with size, and making them smaller would be problematic at this scale. And it wouldn't really save all that much money since there is a minimum cost regardless of volume of...

I thought it might be helpful to list the sizes of our current and upcoming models: Scout/Courier - 36mm Seeker - 36mm Free...

    Traveller Starships on Shapeways

    I'm glad you like the ships! And thanks for the feedback on the bases. We did deliberately decide to not make the bases fit via friction alone. The LITKO base stands are a bit inconsistent, so the hole is a bit oversize to leave room for them without having to force things. Counting on friction...

The Scout Courier in USD is $10.95. If I change location to the UK and currency to GBP, it becomes £9.96, which...

    Traveller Starships on Shapeways

    They are printed in what Shapeways calls Frosted Ultra Detail. We test printed a number of potential materials during the design process and it is the best in terms of detail and paintability. We had hoped to offer them in White Strong & Flexible as well since it is much less expensive, but WSF...
