Hi,
Thank you for placing my link in the forum. I realy appreciate
Regrading your interest in 1:48 scale, I can easily pull up the scale of the shell and see i much it will cost. Making a simulation it's free!
I will get back to you with this issue as soon as i can. Then you can decide.

I'm working on a 1/350 V-2, then later a couple of V-2 variants.
He will be uploading some time soon the manually operated Mk 38 Mod 0 25mm Bushmaster in 1:35th scale. Yay!
One of possible interest to a few of us - it is in 1/35:Enthusiasm quickly curbed upon discovering the price for one unit :(

Well, I was all set to order a couple of your standard V-2s, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to order. Do I "contact the
designer" and pay you directly?
I am tempted to maybe put a pair in the back of one of these:

@shapeways - You are giant bucket of FAIL! This whole log in fiasco is now on day 2 and still unable to get logged in. WTF?
Thanks Jeff - will be ordering 6 of these for my Atomic Ontos idea...Greg, if you are going to get six of these things, I suggest contacting Nick directly to see about having him create an option to purchase six in one purchase to reduce your overall costs. This makes a huge difference as it reduces the fee charged by ShapeWays to just one time instead of six times (one for each item ordered). I asked Nick to do this for the SADM 6-Pack and he was kind enough to oblige so instead of paying over $100.00 for six SADM shapes in 1:35th scale I was able to shave about 40% off the price which made a big difference.
Thanks mate - will do. Do you have his direct contact details?
Heck, I'd be interested in some 1/72 Skybolts for alternate usages.
I'd be interested in a Blue Streak in 1/72. It could be further developed into a Europa II European Orbital launcher.

I've been looking for some drawings so I could do a Blue Streak too --- ;) But for the Spot on Designs A.W. Pyramid kit to be mounted on the top of it.
would there be any interest in non US/UK nuclear gravity bombs?

Similar rocket weapon from the UK might also be considered. Do not recall the project name for it but it was quite similar to the Tiny Tim.

12,000 pound Tall Boy and if possible the 6000 pound version (believe this was just a proposal) would be excellent in 1:48th and 1:72nd scale. Some one at Shapeways offers the Tall Boy and Grand Slam in 1:144th scale but they appear to have no interest in scaling their model up.
it would be nice to have a model of the South African freefall bomb for use on the Buccaneer, likewise if any casing designs have surfaced for Argentinian (Lincon?) and Indian (Canberra?) designs.
I'd like that as I have the Broplan A36 in 1/72.Seconded! I also have one of those kits. Actually, I'd be interested in the missile version, too, for an "alternate A-36" configuration I'm playing with.

You'd probably still need a booster for the air-launched version, need to get it up to where the ramjets will function properly.

The instructions guy at Ikea used to be employed with the Swedish Nuclear Weapons Development Agency? :)
Keep up the great work Nick! My wish list at Shapeways continues to grow longer and the anticipated costs of these purchases is reaching a level that has me concerned about living on ramen noodles for the next couple of years in order to accommodate my wish list. :)
One of my favorite odd ideas, a 1990s concept for an external one-man transport pod, complete with heat and oxygen, mounted on a VTOL or attack helicopter (or, apparently, in a proposed variant, as a parachute-equipped unit carried by a strike fighter like the Tornado or Typhoon), for rescue, evacuation, or special operations troop insertion.
It got as far as ground-fit testing, but never entered service, at least with the British forces. There was evidently a rumor that some units from a pre-production run were bought up by the IDF.

The above version is the "closed hatch" two-pack—I've also got an "open" two-pack (https://www.shapeways.com/product/V4ELMVJW9/avpro-quot-exint-quot-transport-pod-open?optionId=63503469&li=shop-inventory), and an open/closed "variety" pack (https://www.shapeways.com/product/CR8PWWXEN/avpro-quot-exint-quot-transport-pod-open-closed?optionId=63503405&li=shop-inventory).
(I worked for a couple of days trying to design a "universal" print version with a removable hatch that could be attached in either configuration, but alas, with the angles, model sizes, and material thickness tolerances involved, this turned out to be impractical at best.)
I had a feeling this one might be of some interest. Eh? ;)
Would that X-24C be in 1/72?
That's a very nice suggestion GTX, i wasn't aware of this project until now. Definitely on my to-do list.
Hell yeah, way more interesting than boom-boom shapes. ;D :icon_fsm:
I have a question for the 3D experts.
I was looking at Ranchoths (Nick's) AVPRO "EXINT" Transport Pod (Closed) and there are 6 materials choices listed below in order of lowest to highest cost:
White Strong & Flexible
White Strong & Flexible Polished
Black Strong & Flexible
Frosted Ultra Detail
Frosted Extreme Detail
Black Hi-Def Acrylate
In 1/72 scale, and for a builder is not overly anal retentive, what would the best material to select?

@Ranchoth/Nick.
There is a 1:48th scale SR/YF-12 kit available from Testors/Italeri so if you wanted to scale up your bunker buster to 1:48th scale I am sure someone will appreciate that effort :)
It's been a while (36 years) but I am sure I loaded the AIM-46 on the CF-101B Voodoo. Of course I could not talk about it. :icon_fsm:

AIM-46 or AIM-26?
Hi Nick,
Glad you are okay and happy to see your creativity was not stifled. Is the fire-fighting bomb still under development? No link to the model at Shapeways with your above post.
Can I make a suggestion? How about a Blue Streak MRBM in 1/72 and 1/144 scale? It is something that is sadly lacking amongst the Rocket community of modellers.
I picked up a beautiful 3D printed Blue Streak from a seller on EBay, pretty good value too (the seller also does Thor and Bloodhound 2 in a variety of scales)
How about a Japanese ASM-3 anti-ship missile in both 1/72 and 1/48? It's not operational yet, but that makes it perfect for whiffing loadouts.
Is there a word for something being a documentary for a subject that's not come to pass yet? ;D
Yeah, sorry to disappear like this—I actually just started a new job. At a UAV company, as a matter of fact. It's neat work, though I've been working 50 hour weeks for most of the last month, which has been cutting into my 3D modelling time, to say the least.
On the plus side, aside from getting more used to the schedule, it's been letting me build up my grubstake enough to get some models printed for myself, acquire some new research material, and even pick up a couple of model kits to display some appropriate wares on. One of them, a Trumpeter Q-5 Fantan, I'm even hoping to design a mod kit for, to better carry Chinese (and perhaps later on even Pakistani, North Korean, or completely fictional) nukes.
Plus, saving up for that trip to the museums at Albuquerque and White Sands. I might even be able to afford to buy a portable 3D scanner to take along. :cool: Exciting times ahead!
Nick
:smiley: :smiley: Have ordered a set - will let you know what they are like when they get here.@Greg/GTX: you should have waited for the maker to add in the other material options and scales. In his reply to my inquiry he stated that it would take several days/a week to get that done along with scaling the model down to 1:48th and 1:72nd.
Except it is really only the 1/35 version that I am interested in.Well I certainly hope this gets sorted out and it was just the maker needing to make a few adjustments in order to get it to pass the test and allow it to be printed.
Oh, I can see multiple uses for those. :smiley:

Same here.
If you start with the "Quote" button in someone's post, no issue, but if you try to add it later using the "Insert Quote" button, no dice! ???
Shapeways prices have gone up; they should have been coming down, especially for the higher resolution printing processes.Shapeways has become a real disappointment. I too was expecting prices to go down with the improvements in technology but not so.
