EBard@KOOLHOVEN Thanks! This particular model is sized to match the Axis & Allies board game pieces, so it doesn't correspond to any scale; the length/width/height are not proportional. But I do offer it in 1/1800, 1/2400, and 1/4800 scales in my shop and could provide other scales upon request.
The Italians are here! Littorio (BB), Andrea Doria (BB), Conti de Cavour (BB), Zara (CA), and Condottieri (Duca degli Abruzzi - CL) now available in all my standard scales.
Resized my Axis & Allies battleships and cruisers so that they exactly match the sizes of the original game pieces. Long overdue! Also cleaned up my store, removing the old low quality pieces.
USN cruisers now available in Axis & Allies scale. USN North Carolina class redone. IJN Tone class updated. USN destroyers (Mahan, Gridley, Benham) now available in 1/4800, 1/2400, 1/1800.
EBard@mason926 Actually Shapeways has a pretty nice system, they tell me what it will cost them to produce the model and then I add my profit on top of their cost, so I can make the models as expensive or cheap as I want. Since this is just a hobby for me, I keep my profits low so that more people can enjoy my models.
As for this particular model, it looks like the price jumped up back in October when Shapeways instituted the new pricing structure for WSF. I've shrunk the cage surrounding the planes and that reduced the price by about a third, but that's about all I can do without completely redoing the cage from scratch.
EBard@mason926 I agree with you, that price doesn't seem right. Only $1 of it is my profit, rest is Shapeway's "machine volume fee". I'll look into this and see what's going on. Maybe there is a stray shell way off to the side of the model or something.
