M5A1 - SNAFU KID - now available - 1:18 AND 1:16

[grunt1]

Not to sound like a used car dealer, but I am indeed clearing out my inventory to make room for inbound M5A1's. (haha!) Check out the BST thread for a list of already printed Shapeway items I'm offering below my printing cost. http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/view ... =3&t=34990

While 3D Printing is still expensive, with a lot of optimization of the model, the final pricing came out a little better than expected with the 1:18 version running about $395 USD and 1:16 at $530.

Here is the final M5A1 "SNAFU KID" as lovingly finished by our very own 1958Zelda:

Any chances of getting Sargent York 1 18

[grunt1]

Soon? Chances are slim. But for the sake of the idea, were you thinking the whole tank or just the turret to put on top of the 21st Centurty M48?

That would be cool to get another tank out of the M48.
I would be intereted in what the cost for the turrent would be...

I think $395 on that 1/18 is pretty damn great man, good for you. That's less than I imagined it'd cost. 3D Printing is funny how it works I've found. Sometimes just a reworking of the print format alters price dramatically.

[Shomare]

Whoa, that thing is amazing in quality! I am more into big gun looking tanks, but the back end and everything on that is ridiculously cool.

Price seems proper I would say.

Too bad that Puma was so dang much...was that one re-worked by any chance, and was that previous price for them the best pricing bar none? I just always wondered about that, wanting one, but dang they were pricey.
