It might not be recently requested but I'm putting up a long overdue project. I'm making the guitars I showed a few months ago available for purchase. This includes 2 sets of 2 guitars each and 2 sets of 2 guitars with an amplifier. A set of acoustic guitars will be put up soon as well.
Mike-The 35 scale guitars are fun. Thank you. Here is your Gibson Explorer 3D where I tried to paint in Lynyrd Skynyrd scheme. Need to string it up and try some Freebird!

Took a bit longer than expected but a set of 4 rifles is now ready. The set includes 1 each of the M110, Cheytac M200, McMillian TAC-50, and the new FN SCAR-H SSR and magazines and bipods for each.
Here's the M110 set:
And the SCAR SSR set:
All sets will be available by end of day tomorrow.
All non-suppressed and 4-pack sets are available now.
Hi Mike, I got my Shapeways order in Sept 1, 2018 after the latest patch update. Looks like only one of the set of 4 printed as I received bags with mags and bipods but missing rifles? Thought you would want to know. What did show up looks great though. Photos here... -Thanks- Stuart

Hi Stuart, send pics and explanation directly to SW service so they can investigate and reprint. Sadly their QC has gone down the pan lately, as they tend to outsource a lot of their printing, so SW HQ may not know what is being sent out in their name.

I agree with Tom. I actually can't do anything about the missing parts because the file I uploaded contains the whole model.

OK - I sent Shapeways the same photos and words when I made this post. They received but will probably respond after the long weekend. Wondered if others have seen similar results on this set of 4 rifles model? Thanks

I think that you're the only person who has ordered the set so far. Actually, after you ordered it, I think I had to update the model because I forgot to attach the TAC-50 to the base containing the rest of the rifles. That might be the model you bought. That set still included all four, it's just that the TAC-50 was a separate part.

Soon to be available: 2 set of 1/35 Sig Sauer M17 MHS pistols. I will also make sets with the slide back and, if possible, in a Safariland holster. The holstered model would take quite a lot of time though.

How about the M14 rifle storage case mounted on the right side of the turret of the Berlin Crisis deployed M48A1s?
No one has tackled this yet and it is a super important detail on those M48A1s.
The length of the storage case should be just a tad over the length of the M14 rifle....44.3 inches (1126mm).

Thank you Mike. I just heard back from Shapeways today:
"Let's start off by saying sorry! We work hard to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your purchase. Unfortunately sometimes we mess up.
To make sure you are completely satisfied we just placed a new order for you at no charge.
Your new order will ship by: 2018-09-24
Order includes: 1/35 Sniper Rifles set MSP35-088 1x 1/35 Sniper Rifles set MSP35-088 in Smoothest Fine Detail Plastic"
I sent the photos to Shapeways of the missing parts Sept 2, and got an email back right away that they were looking into it. I think a week is reasonable to fix. Looking forward to seeing more of your good work soon. - Thanks- Stuart

The M14 storage case is finished. I just need to upload it. I made two options for it: one closed and one open (with buttstock in place) but with a tool to form PE around to make the opening cover. The cover itself would be too fragile to print. I also figured out why the QF 183mm L4 gun barrel (for the Amusing Hobby FV215B) was so expensive. I accidentally overscaled it by 2. I scaled the model down to the (hopefully) correct size and I'm updated the offering now. Now instead of being over $60 for a too large 3 piece set, it's only $15 for a single piece barrel.
I'm glad to hear this is getting resolved!
I can't make animals. They're too complex for me to design for now. Birds I might be able to do but they would be very simple, shape-wise.
I can take a crack at those but like Bob Skipper said, Bronco makes a set of similar looking searchlights.
No news. I haven't asked Mouse House yet. I can't find many good vector drawings of the gun. Found a few of the tank and gun but I'm not sure how accurate they are.

I have a question. Does anyone share my opinion that the shapeways internal search engine is severely lacking? Last time I tried it did not have 1/35th or any number of the standard modeling scales as built in prompts.

Deathdork, if you look under marketplace/miniatures/vehicles/military then filter for 1/35. I then search by newest to get just the most recent adds. I've had very good luck. I guess birds and figures fall outside the range of vehicles though.

Eric

How about a suspension update for the new Tamiya Mutt kits?
Both are missing a highy visible upper front wishbone part and more IIRC.

Hi Marc
Very nice, but only 1/35th - I'm into 1/16th this Century.
Figured that if both scales were offered, there would be better take up.

Hoping to generate interest in 1:72 scale either M1919 .30 cal or M73 7.72 mm MG barrels, with flash hiders, for use on the Acemodel V-100 Commando. It is a great kit and built up well, but the injected barrels were mis-matched when molded and really need replacements.
