hmm, not bad, too bad they aren't painted for that, or the seller didn't have them printable with textures like some do

Lol, I'm actually the seller and designer. I would texture these but Shapeways only do Sandstone in Color. For how thin a lot of the parts are in the model it won't print well in SandStone. Whenever Shapeways start doing plastic in color I would be on it.

zomg - that's a totally affordable price - even if you figure out larger scales! I'd totally do a 1/72 scale set of parts to assemble and paint myself for ~30 or 40 bucks. And they look great as-is.

I don't know if I can scale up to that big. But the models themselves aren't super detailed so If I were to go bigger I would have to model something for more details. Thanks for the compliments!

They have a full color plastic material now, but it might still be in beta. Look into it! Though, honestly, tiny parts have some bleed-through.

Yup it's one of the testing materials. It's really expensive but I will try it out anyway.

They look great! Have you started painting them yet?

I tried painting them with acrylic and that didn't work out well lol. I'll try the full colored plastic material on shapeways once I get the textures done.
