Shapeways Chinese Destroyers

Finished off my Chinese Destroyers, These are the models I brought from shapeways. Very happy with the end product, not as detailed or crisp as GHQ or CinC but still very nice.

There's a Type 52, 51B, 51C and 2x 52Bs.
Models by Afrodri

Cheers
Matt

  1. What material did you get them in, and what were they like to paint? Been looking at getting some 3D printed stuff.

    1. Got them in strong white flex. A bit of a pain to paint, Very absorbent. I highly recommend trying out shapeways, my experience was nice.

  2. They do the job nicely mate, the thing that impresses me most though are the waves, they are very nice.

    1. I think he did those himself :)

      These are good, and you seem to have managed to get rid of the layer lines. I keep needing an excuse to order something from Shapeways, but "because it's super cool" doesn't pass MY financial smell test, let alone my wife's.

    2. Thanks guys, Yep the waves are just done from spakfilla. The price of each ship was pretty good just the postage as always is a bit hefty.
