Well, the complainers can always go to Shape Ways
Oh well, guess I'll be cutting up some waste pipe then.

Re: ...a couple more halftracks...
^ Also this. Some people see a print online and imagine a (insert kit manufacturer of your choice here) quality item that they can just slap together and have themselves a perfect replica.frankie wrote:...not only that, but these are home made and not commercial quality...I have done a couple of bits and bobs before for people with the understanding that they weren’t the most accurate and didn’t have masses of detail only to have them complain that they weren’t accurate and lacked detail...
As you know (but throwing this out here for general audience) we 3D printers make models for ourselves (and sometimes for our friends ), but we are not a commercial enterprise and we don't print prototypes beyond what we need to in order for us to assemble them to our satisfaction. We also don't compile detailed instructions for obvious reasons.
I'd love to live in a world where we could all share our CAD files, but the sad reality is that there will always be those guys who decide to print or sell somebody else's models for their own profit, and then the others who download or buy our prints and slag us off because we not have met their unrealistically high expectations

The canvas is just household cloth...painted with tamiya acrylics..the more coats they have the stiffer they are so hold their shape...
remember...it's just a plastic tank...

Anyone who’s owned one of the m16s knows that the chances of removing an intact set after 10mins of use is next to impossible

Not sure many people have had the chance to buy any. You keep buying them all

Forgebear and Haya still have some in stock, nothing stopping you getting any before Frankie gets them
