I recently ordered several of Tom Servo's Tapebots off of Shapeways, got them pained up and took pics. What do you think?

The GitD paint on Quickstrike is very interesting.

Usually, they're kits. Shapeways "prints" the pieces of each and sends them to you in a bubble miler or a small baggie. You cu them off the sprue, finish them, do any sanding needed, and paint them, then assemble and walla!

SOmetimes, it is possible to print thing assembled, but not something to count on. I cannot speak for these particular kits, as I bid not know they existed. Somuch stuff on there that I never see
