Oh, this looks like fun!

Oh ya!
Built a couple of Broplan vac kits, a real challenge but great for the feeling of overcoming a challenge and creative accomplishment

OMG, what a challenge! 🙂 Those panel lines look quite uneven, will you try to rescribe them or just take them for what they are? In any way, I am super curious how these sheets of plastic can be turned into a model, so I will watch with interest!

Welcome mates, the panellines are aweful but the material is so thin, i'm scarred that i cut right trough it when i try to rescribe them.

Ambitious project! Watching.

Hi DuperScale, I built a couple of Broplan vac ATR kits, converting one 72 500 to a 42 300. A few pics of the work in my "albums" if you're interested in the kind of model you can achieve from a Broplan kit with a bit of work…sweat and tears, foul language, alcohol and time….

Hi Heiko,

At the moment I don't have a solution to be honest. The items I had on Shapeways were things that I didn't want to be bothered with printing at home, that's how I decided what went on Shapeways and what I printed and sold on eBay. Furthermore, I had just over 100 items listed on Shapeways and I'm not really interested in keeping inventory on those 100 items, plus the nearly 40 I already sell on eBay. One potential option is Cults. If you're unfamiliar, it's a marketplace where people sell .stl files that they then print on their own. But it's fraught with issues as there's nothing keeping someone from giving your file away once they've purchased it from you. And of course the obvious; you need to have a printer yourself, or know someone who does. So while I have opened a Cults store, at the moment I haven't really done much with it:

That being said, I will be taking some of the Shapeways items and selling them on eBay. At the moment I'm looking at the DDS (Dry Deck Shelter), SDV (SEAL Delivery Vehicle), and GUPPY sails, plus also probably the P-61 radar set. For now.

Lovely work, painting and weathering is excellent!!😊

gorby
Fantastic! You could easily mistake some of those B&W photos for period photos of the real thing.

Was this color combination a standard for civil vehicles? I am asking because a week ago I saw one in southern Germany with exactly this livery.

Bavel Cat
Michael Kohl, Yes, this is the standard color of the 2018 anniversary UAZ 3909.

Michael Kohl
Thanks. Definitely an elegant choice of colors. Which ones did you use?

Bavel Cat
Michael Kohl, Thank you for your interest!
The main colors are glossy white (Revell acrylic) and Gray-blue A-18 m (ZIPmaket acrylic).

Mr D
Nice choice in kit 😁👍👍 has the Zvezda kit been well designed?
