So the first one to start this off, some German Zeiss binoculars and a small carry case which i have designed
They are 1/16, and very very tiny, but maybe that something you were looking for which no one else has

I am sorry I missed this post earlier. I am hoping that after my SdKFz 251 is here I might get one of these and the ambulance. Meanwhile, I need to rob a bank. ;)

Well if you need a getaway driver professor I'm your man for a slice of the gains :lolno:

I can confirm how tiny but perfectly formed these items are as I was lucky enough to get a set from WCP already :thumbup:

Cheers,Lee.

Hopefully some small pocket money items like these will find themselves appearing at Blackpool lol.

Hold on Catherine, can that fellow of yours print clear resin/other? For example, headlights?

yup can be done no bother
only thing we need is sizes and design, we can get them drawn up and printed
but the clear resin is a bit more expensive, so we would rather do a batch of them
in fact, i think we prefer to run a printer specifically for this use so we just run clear to stop contamination

Would it be feasible to do a run of a sprue (or the like) of various-sized lenses. Maybe RCTW folks could measure up needed shapes and diameters so you could pick the most requested to print and sell. (Certainly I could use various lenses, and they could be shipped tucked in with my SdKFz 251 and bumperettes.)

yes could do
So maybe we need to setup a post to get peoples interest in lenses, people can put sizes and get a picture and design as we can add the detail aswell
then we can print whatever
personally i like to run a build plate full of 1 size of whatever it is, so i do multiple batches of everything
then we just snap off the parts in put them in groups etc
sizes is going to be difficult, but if anyone has those and a picture my job is made a whole lot easier
