MinifigCustomsIn3d - 15th Mold

[woody64]

I was rather busy during the last 2 months with getting rid of the "thin walls problem". Unfortunately some orders couldn't be handled since the items have to be redesigned. I hope the majority is done now.

There are some new items available but mostly I have corrected old ones and made some packs to achieve attractive prices:

Here are the new items available:

- Straw Boater (new design)

- 10 x Midship Men

- 10 x Bobby

- 20 x French

- 10 x Napoleonic Collection

- 10 x Officer Sword

- 10 x Dragoon Helmet

- 10 x Bayonette

- 10 x Sword Bayonette

For me the most important change is that with availability of the packs also coloring is an affordable option (in general between $1.8 and $2.8 for the complete colored piece). Especially the coloring also affects the surface and makes it more smooth. Here's an example of the WWI helmet collection in Limestone:

But more exciting for me is that shapeways announced the availability of black yesterday! Because that's the most important color for most of the helmets. I will report some photos in a week after receiving my first order.

I like the look of these.

Though im not a big Lego WWI fan...

I'd like to see pics of the black ones though.

Nice job with them woody64!

I've added black as option to the single piece. But according to the price it will make sense to provide a 10 pieces pack.

Additionally I have to strengthen the connection between ring and mask because I have one report where the connection was broken ...

P.S.:

I've uploaded the packed version and added the color option (black and terra cotta would be an option)

I just order myself a pack, plus other small things I could make use of to cover up the costs.

Look forward to them.

If you had more Star Wars stuff, I would buy some.

Maybe you should think about creating things like this:

Dath Maul Lightsaber

Maris Brood Lightsaber

Or a Cold Assault Trooper Helmet

Godd luck with your progress

Maris Brood Lightsaber

Kaminoan makes those.

After a user request I have tried to assign the shapeways colors to LEGO colors:

and here's the real result in Limestone as a group of soldiers wearing the M1 pot:

You can also expect a Napoleonic group in grey today and in black by the end of the week.

And here are the results in black (alsoe here the surface looks much smoother after coloring):

Also the Bayonette is colored by the producer now (Limestone).

Today I want to put attention to two pieces (SciFi and Greek Shield) from another designer (Leviathale).

I've added a reference to his shop item:

Is the SciFi shield based on a movie or something, or is it just made up?

If you follow this link and take a look on the reference picture I think we can imagine whate the designer had in mind.
