New Shapeways store announcement

Post by lezdep »

I am pretty sure I have posted announcement earlier, but I cannot find it anymore. So here it is again.
I have opened my own Shapeways shop with a single product for now - spark plug boots for Alfa Romeo engines
in BT45, BT46, BT46B, etc. I will add more products when they get designed for my own needs.

Here is direct link to the shop - https://www.shapeways.com/shops/lezdep-s-modeling-shop

Couple of images of parts in raw form and also painted and installed.

Forgot to mention - for the listed price you will get set of 48 boots. Enough to detail up to 4 12 cylinder engines.
So, while for one model it might seem pricey, cost will be actually spread among 4 models. In terms of compatibility with
kits - any BT45 or BT46 series kit, that used Tamiya engine or its copy, can be detailed with my parts. That includes
Ititani, Studio27 and Wolf kits in addition to Tamiya's. Some of MFH kits could also allow installations on my parts. But
it will be on case by case. Fujimi BT46 series has boots molded on the covers. So, if you would like to install my parts
some modifications will have to be made - remove molded on details and drill 0.9mm holes. Judging by the looks of Fujimi
covers, required modifications might pose some challenge, as boots and simulated bold heads are in very close proximity.
So, be aware of it, if you decided to order my parts for your Fujimi kit(s).
