Just finished my favorite early armor - T1 HMC in 1/72.

Kit is very simple and contains only four parts - hull, gun and tracks.

CAD looks nice. Can you provide actual photos of model? Unbuilt and built-up? Not pointing fingers, but sometimes the product isn't as good as the CAD representation.

I should have suggested primered, too. (Asking a lot here! ) The semi-transparent material Shapeways uses for printing doesn't show surface detail very well. Also a primered model will show up any excessive printing lines.

To imagine how printed models looks, here are the photos of unprimered and primered 1/200 Short Sperrin in the FUD material.

Be sure, surface details look good enough.
