We’ve added a couple of new bits to our Shapeways store<\/a> recently, both to complement our 2mm buildings<\/a> and fit in nicely with the Aeronef<\/a> and Land Ironclad<\/a> ranges.<\/p>\n

First up is a gasholder (or gasometer). I’m not sure about other countries, but we have these all over the UK – as you come into Victoria train station in London there are several en-route next to the Thames, and another famous one is situated by the Oval cricket ground<\/a>. Our model depicts two smallish ones, one full and the other about a third full.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second model is of an airship mooring tower – based on real examples, scaled to be roughly the height of one of our Nef models on its flying stand. Painted in a red\/white colour scheme, one or more of these would look great on a 2mm Aeronef landing field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lattice structure of models like these makes them ideal candidates for 3D printing, as they would be damn-near impossible to produce in resin or metal without making them a) in lots of pieces, or b) solid relief models, which just wouldn’t look as nice. If anyone is going to Salute<\/a> and wants to get hold of either or both of these models, contact us in advance and we can order them in for you to avoid shipping charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
