Modellers like “prêt-a-porter” after markets when comes to upgrade, detail or transform their
models, this is what I always have in mind when designing the 3d parts for the FCModeltips
catalogue. In many cases 3d printed parts can provide subtler details than traditional resin
cast parts due to the silicon mould limitations, but there are still some cases when is advisable
to make resin cast copies of 3d printed masters to make them less expensive.
As with any resin kit, 3d parts may suffer from bents during the cleaning process but this can
be easily corrected heating the part for 15 seconds in the microwave so not much problems
with this.
Different 3d printers work in different ways and use different materials, most of the ones
used for reproducing modelling accessories use a special resin that has to be hardened
and cleaned after printing and this process ads some more time to the already lot that is
necessary for a good definition printing.
While chatting with many friends lately all of them believe that 3d printing is the future.
They really believe this as they see more and more parts being available through this
technique everyday. The truth is that the 3d printers are still both expensive and limited, the
less expensive ones can’t be used to reproduce fine details or smooth surfaces, and even
the most expensive ones reproduce subtle textures over the flat surfaces that have to be
corrected.
Next month I will be releasing my first full 3d printed kit, the Spanish Civil war UNL-35 which
is made of few parts to make the building process an easy job.
I learnt 3d designing by myself and the aid of some friends like Pete Haman and Mario Petel
who constantly advised me (and keep doing so) about all sort of things. This last year I made
some 100 designs for creating accessories and transformations of all kinds and I hope I can
make a lot more in the next months to keep adding previously unreleased items, updates
of existing ones and even more complete kits. Stay tuned to Blitzscales for more news
concerning 3d modelling.
