I can’t compete with the mass sellers. It makes no sense, but I can offer something different like a request for a young boy operating the tiller on a 1/12 scale sailboat. There is something that just can’t be found unless someone makes it. I was able to make one. The first one of anything IMO is just a prototype that enables me to see how bad or good it comes out. Like right now I made some 1/48 1755 English marine with a rifle and bayonet. It looked great until I started taking off the supports and the bayonet broke off, the trigger guard broke off…everything went to crap in a hurry. The marine looked great, it was just the extra things that make him standout didn’t look so great. So I need to modify some things and I think it will be fine. It’s just figuring out how to do that…
I did the king and queen from 1755 and they looked great. I noticed in my photo tiny bits and pieces, that is shaving pieces from trimming up various areas on the figure. I think they will be fine. Also did the captain of the ship and he looked fine too. It’s just those tiny pieces that print fine but are too delicate.
I just bought a second printer as these runs can sometimes last as long as 6 to 8 hours. The changeover from one run to the next I am working on making it go faster because there is no value added in that portion of the process, it’s just a necessity.
I am open to requests…some I will agree to, others I will need to turn down either because I can’t make it work out or in my mind there are cheaper equivalent alternatives.
