Shapeways and you- personalising your collection

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Where's this list then, was it that other thread? I'll pop the link in here so you can add it to your first post if you like.

Master Blaster's blaster boutique, home to many forthcoming classics upgrades and more!

My fault with the PB picture, I forgot to update the link when I moved the photo to a customising folder for my project partner. Here's the photo::

:lol and indeed. That's a pretty awesomely accurate render mate, nice one! I only just got round to rendering the autobot sigil myself today, more of a pain to get just right then you'd think:

Cool, and yea I mean my thread over in 3rd Party toys, you know the one about collecting shapeways stores :P

That looks pretty cool!

I've finished my coin and ordered the first testshot.

Oh I also started something new!
Guess what it is!

That right there took 5 hours...

AH, righto. Will do so shortly! I've been chatting to a chap on tfw who's father has access to a 3D printer he needs to test out for some people, so I've sent him some of the larger designs I have (like Superion's footplates, a £55 print for the pair!) in hopes I can get them, essentially, for free (+p&p). Also let's me test out new designs without fiddling round with shapeways. Fingers crossed!

Do I get a hint? :P lol I'm not too sure from that angle mate, gimme a hint and I'll take a stab! I can tell you though, at those sort of dimensions, it could end up costing a fair bit.

No worries about the time scales mate, it's cos you're new to the game! My first shapeways pistol (Swindle's pistol) took about half as long to draw as that Superion upgrade, so about 8 hours! It's all about practise and getting a feel for the program.

It's an upgrade for this

Basecally, the crate does not work with the guns it comes with which pisses me off, so I'm working on an inlay to fix that. And yea it might cost a bit, but if it works and makes the box a litle bit more functional I'll be happy.

Pretty awesome about your friend with the 3d Printer.

Yes, although you should check out their help section to see if you need to do any special work to get your model to work with them.

I tried using a 3D model maker once. :BOOM:
Shapeways is an amazing thing, esp. for TF fans, but all in all, if you can't work your way around a 3D program, your screwed. That's why I don't use it. If I knew how to work any 3D program, Ide make my own transformers.
