Hey modellers!


I have a 3d model of something completely unrelated to Epic - a replica viking ship.

If I wanted to set up a small scale production of these in, say, resin, what would I need to have and to do, and how much would these things cost? I want the replica to be perhaps 15cm long and about as tall as that; the mast and sail would probably need to be cast seperately.

My HQ is in Denmark, Europe, so contacts within the eu would be ideal; but the world is my playground.

Thanks in advance (o:

talk to shapeways.

Oki - it seems they only do the printing? If I wanted to make up a series of, say, a hundred?

I'd think it'd be most economical to cast them - what are the steps, what to do? Or am I wrong?

Here's an introduction to casting in resin:

ahh - thought you only wanted one.

100? that's a good size fleet.

yup; the plan is to sell them in the local viking ship museum store. Might want to start with 10 or 25, and see how fast they shift ..
