I am interested but only if i would go for your Vader Project also. Any idea for how much the kit will be offered? |

I don't know until I get the parts to the producer. |

You going to do reveal parts as well? |

No. But people who have made reveal parts in the past and have 3D models can easily have them scaled down and printed out in 1:6 scale. |

I finally heard from the printing company. They are now preparing the models for printing. Apparently they require a little more work than usual, so I guess I went overboard and didn't prepare things properly. I've asked them to give a list of things I can do myself in the future so it won't give them so much work. |

It took a while, but I've gotten the print ready models back for review. It's actually the first time I've seen one of their prepared models and it is interesting to see and now I understand why things take so long with my models, as the finished models I made had lots of greeblie parts sticking into each other and into the surface of the main pieces. On the print ready models only the outside surface remains, fusing the greeblies to the surface and removing everything on the inside. This has informed me of a few things - I need to limit the amount of stuff sticking inside the main outer surface, so I can easily simplify for instance the grill model inside the mask. And having seen what they do, I can now try to make things easier for them in the future and try and connect as many greeblie pieces as I can to the main surface, instead of just letting it stick inside, as separate surfaces intersecting. I probably won't be able to do it on the more complex greeblies, but the simple ones should be easy to do and will cut down the costs on what they need to do to prepare the models a bit. |

Wow, they look fantastic. Was there any cleanup, or were they delivered that clean? |

They haven't been delivered yet. They are still at the 3D printing factory. They always send a picture so I can see if everything looks fine before they ship out. I'm waiting for a picture of the front of the domes, to see how things look. There was a bit of clean-up, but that's usually only supports and getting rid of excess printing resin. I asked them not to mess with the imperfections on the 3D models or prints, as those are intentional and they've never done that on the past prints they've done. They are sharp and pristine and exact to the scans. |
