... interesting tip: http://www.shapeways...tml?gid=ug11290

It's just for fun. But it was inspired by some plates I got covering hole regiments. So I started to make some decals covering the main roles in a regiment. Woody64

There are 2 versions of the shako in my shop. One is a little bit smaller. The size in diameter is strongly connected to the material used. Therefore I can't go beyond this margins since the 2 materials I use need 0.7mm and 1mm wall size which defines the diameter arround the hat. I have only a number of 70-100 minifigs with custom designed decals which I use with various of my custom items. Currently I have a showboard where 50 Minifigs all equipped with custom helmets or weapons are shown. Here's an item which can be used for the prussian Landwehr. But in principle for this item also the Lego standard hat can be used. Or do you see a big difference between Schirmmütze and the Lego standard item (for officers, train personal)? http://www.shapeways.com/modules/udesign/utils/openfile.php?id=194067&f=194067.v2.s13.blender.large.jpg Woody64

I've started the next cycle with an US army radio equipment the SCR-300: Since it is Christmas time I will add 2 or 3 items requested or proposed here, which are similar to this item type. Something worn on the back of the Minifig. So I'm waiting for proposals (please add a reference picture and a short description) Woody64

Today the SCR-300 and the new british beret (scottish) have arrived: Woody64

Here are some recently done photos of my items dealing with "Castle or other Historic" topics. German style Lobster Ancient Spartan, but sword and shield could also be useful for castle topics Merchant Straw hat Lobster Lance Pallasch Scout Fantasy Warrior (Mace and Shield, Helmet by BrickTW) Woody64

User request: Fantasy Helmet (study)

Uglyduckling made a short overview about my methodology to produce such items: http://uglyduck-bric...ys-minifig.html Recently I switched from the material to Acrylic-based photopolymer (that's very nearby to plastic from the look and feel). Before I used the material White&Flexible (Nylon12), which looks on the photos a little bit porous, but has the advantage that my 3d printing provider offers green, red, blue and black. The list describes each photo above, and the item I've created for this minifig thirty years Soldier (German style Lobster): On the picture there's a thirty years soldier, but the helmet is also suitable for other historical periods. Ancient Spartan (Spartan Helmet, Sword, Shield): maybe one of the 300 17th Century Merchant (Hat): this item was originally requested by a forum user. The historic picture given was Rembrandts, Night Watch Farmer (Straw hat): was also requested by a user, I think Kevin thirty years Soldier (Lobster): also by request of a forum user British Ensign 18th Century (Lance): to protect the colours thirty years war cavalry men (Lobster, Pallasch): the straight version of the LEGO sword. Used by heavy cavalrymen. Scout (Scout cap): originally made by my brother Fantasy Warrior (Mace and Shield, Helmet by BrickTW): Middle age mace, Shield inspired by World of Warcraft and Helmet given by BrickTW Woody64

Beautiful - every nut, bolt and screw, nothing more to say .... Woody64

The printing customer provides black material. That's the reason for. Otherwise you buy transparent or white and have to color it yourself. Woody64

Recently I did an update of my pictures. Enjoy the Napoleonic relevant ones ... Further non Napoleonics can be seen on my flickr page ... Woody64

Hope to make my next order soon then I can present the real molds in 2-3 weeks. These items are already done smoothed: and here are some news: scotts kilt (study) light infantry helmet (American Civil war) American leather helmet Woody64

All items are 3d constructed and printed via Shapeway's 3d printing service. I made all items also available for other customers, see the links in my footer. Woody64

The ongoing smoothing process for my items brings much finer results and changes also a littkle bit the optic in a more natural way: Hope to present the results soon ... And here are some new items: woody64

Some new figs - Bowler - Pauldron T.Marine - Pauldron T.Vader

Yes there are more then 4 guys using this service for new LEGO items. But nevertheless very well done. Woody64

I've got an example delivery from his new parts and they are excellent!!!! Woody64

Yes the design is based on pistols and rifles from 1800-1815. The rifle is built according to the baker rifles (for infantry and the short one for cavallry). Woody64

Thanks for sharing this. Can you provide some reference pictures where you have done some spray paintings to see what results can be achieved. Thanks Woody64

... it has arrived today. Woody64

Nice work. An overview picture showing the whole scene would be great ... Woody64

The best I have at the moment ... http://www.brickshel...Mold/kar98k.png

Some of you may be interested in some new achievements I have recently done with 3d printing. Due to some hints of an American designer I'm now able to smooth the surface of some of my helmets which should result in a much better output. See the reference object here: Cuirassier smoothed Based on a question in the forum I made 3 prototypes for Spartan equipments: - Helmet - Sword - Shield I've extended the 30 years war equipment with a new helmet (may also be used for fantasy) - Lobster (German style) Some modern hats/parts are - Pakol - British cap (I've also found some Napoleonic drawings using this as forage cap) - Bren LMG Also in my main interest area I've added two parts: - Hussar hat - Epaulette Hope to make my test order soon to publish some photos in 2 weeks maybe showing also 3 other interesting parts not mentioned yet. Recently there was also an article published Ugly Duckling Log which shows some spotlight on my 3d printing technique to produce Lego equipment. Here's a photo showing a vast collection of my parts directly on Minifigs ... Woody64

I wonder if that comes nearby ... http://www.shapeways...tml?gid=ug11290 Woody64
