Re: Sherman Firefly VC
The Shapeways parts I used are my own designs. I've just put these up on my shop, so this is available here -

Re: Sherman Firefly VC
Hi Niall,
Many Thanks for your reply - these look excellent. I'll be ordering a set shortly. Do you do other parts for a 16th scale Firefly or is this it?
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Sherman Firefly VC
I've done a Sherman 1 engine cover and glassis plate aerial mount, but have not finalised them for uploading to Shapeways. I'll upload a screenshot of the CAD file tomorrow.
I can do extra castings of the packs and helmets.

Re: Sherman Firefly VC
Shapeways have a fixed price on shipping, so waiting for the second one would save money.
Second set now uploaded -

Re: Sherman Firefly VC
After some consideration I have asked Niall to rebuild this vehicle to a 1C - it just struck me that if I do show it off - as much I think it would be okay to the eye and passing gloance - it would probably be better this way.
And good chap that he is - he has started the work and hopefully we'll have some piccies soon.
