ReducedAirFact Posted July 16, 2021 Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Sadly, Shapeways has gone out of business. However a selection of these full-color planes is available at https://greatwarplanes.com, and more are being added every week. Yes, now you can get full-color airplane prints from Shapeways! No painting is necessary -- these miniatures are ready to use (though you may need to heat them a little to straighten the wings). The Mimaki printers Shapeways uses can replicate 10 million different colors (I'm not sure about the HP printers). I'll keep this top post up to date with new full-color 3D prints as they're made available, rather than making a new post with each plane and color scheme. If you want to see some examples of real prints, check out the follow-ups to this post and others. (I use computer renders because I don't have any examples of many of these prints, especially the newer designs which have never yet been printed.) The URL is: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/raf?section=%3D%3D%3D%3D+Full-Color+Models+%3D%3D%3D%3D&s=0. You can use the links on the left of that page if you just want to look at full-color planes of a particular type. Clicking on the pictures below will also take you directly to the Shapeways model. As of August 2022, planes are available in High Definition Full Color plastic and Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF); the former being higher quality and the latter being more affordable. See https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF) for comparisons between the materials.

Teaticket Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Oh boy, soon you'll have more available than ARES! If you get any printed a photo of them would also be appreciated. Quote
ReducedAirFact Posted October 2, 2021 Author Posted October 2, 2021 I added an Albatros D.III and SPAD 13. There will probably be more color schemes for those added in coming weeks. There are some good photos of the actual prints in this thread and on the Etsy site. Quote
ReducedAirFact Posted October 14, 2021 Author Posted October 14, 2021 I took up the challenge of doing Hans Böhning's Albatros D.Va, and -- while difficult -- I have to say it was a lot of fun trying to get it right. It is a paint scheme that would be very difficult to paint and decal by hand. I'll post a photo of the actual model once one arrives. For color choices I used nose and lozenge-wrapping that Wingnut Wings recommended, but the wheel covers and Bavarian blue closer to the Jasta Colors book. There are a lot of exciting Albatros D.V/D.Va paint schemes, so you can expect more of them in coming months. 1 Quote
