J-Shape on Shapeways has already done a M16A1 and A2 and XM16E1, M4A1, XM177E1 and E2, AKM and L1A1. I can do the K though. I'll also make it in 1/35.



Awesome! and thank you kindly!

Anytime.

I also want to say that I think it's fitting that I'm listening to a James Bond theme song while CADing a model.

New preview:


Unfortunately, Photobucket now doesn't allow third-party linking, so I now have to make the move (again) from one image host to another. This time to Imgur, where I've had more success than on Photobucket and Imageshack. Luckily, I already have an account there.

Here are the final renders. The new models are of Walther PPKs in 1/35. There are 5 different versions: hammer up, hammer down, slide back, hammer up with suppressor, and hammer down with suppressor.

I'm nearly finished the Karl Gustav m/45 "Swedish K." Just needs a few more details and then it'll be finished.

Excellent! How about the CLU for the Javelin as well? Javelin missiles are out there already, but I have not yet seen the controller?

I'd need more information to make it. Converting what to a CV9035? What's being changed/added? What would need to be included in a conversion set?

I thought I saw a news article announcing the release of a Javelin with CLU set somewhere? Unfortunately it's just too complex for me to do with the little amount of information I have available to me on the internet.

Would that be the Black Dog set?

Mike,

I saw your set of 1/35 Shillelagh missiles on your Shapeways page. Good job on the cartridge base and the fins.

With the various 1/35 M60A2 kits and a M728 CEV pending would you consider creating 152 mm M409A1 HEAT rounds and 165 mm M123 HEP rounds?

Any thoughts on some accessories for Tamiya's 1/16 Abrams? Maybe some SEP-specific components, and some A1 specific components.

Some ideas:
BFT antenna,
Bustle environmental conditional system,
A1 Commander's Weapon Station,
Tank phone,
Mine plow interface socket,
Marine smoke grenade launchers,
Marine Missile counter measures device,

Thanks.

Out of that list, the one that I think I can do is the MCD. I can't find very much information on the rest of them.

Have not looked at all the posts on this, but how about Tools.

Shovels, Pick, sledge, tanker bar,axe, all with straps on, and set without, and modern set?

Good, Bad?

Impartial?

Shapeways has these; https://www.shapeways.com/product/X3JEPDMW8/1-10-5-us-pioneer-tool-rack?optionId=56588529

I got two of them and they are very nice. Also TMD does tools in resin with straps - also first rate

I looked cheaper then what I saw $850.00 way high the other $56.00

I think TMD was sold, and he is going to be making them again soon.

What I always used was there's.

Hi Michael, is their any chance you can produce a winch and live roll for the new M983a2 Tractor from Model Collect? This version is used by the Engineers.

Ok lets try this again; https://www.shapeways.com/product/QEXQ6EGAY/1-35-us-pioneer-tool-rack-set101?optionId=63231556. This one set me back $10.00

TMD is just moving and should be up and running in a few more days.

Very nice...the M123 HEP rounds should be a snap for you. Note the perforated base and handle.

This guy had some M123 rounds 3D printed...not sure where...

Thanks for the info, Greg. It should be pretty helpful. I can definitely try the thermal system.

I can't find very much on it online. From what I've seen, I can definitely do it. I just don't have enough info right now.

Also, 165mm M123 rounds are finished.

Missed that $10.00 set Chris, thanks for that , better then $56.00
Good deal on TMD, have a bunch I ordered years back, but out of tools,except the sets with no straps.
When I saw $850.00 thought that he meant $8.50, not $850.00


Whoa .
