Thanks. I am working on the HISS right now. Snowcat is next, and then maybe the ASP. Suggestions are welcome.
For now, here are some shots of the (now-discontinued) black acrylate in action. I ordered a small sprue of Stingers in black acrylate at the 11th hour before they discontinued the material at Shapeways. I modified the sculpt to strengthen some aspects, and the material requirements for the acrylate required me to abandon the small fins on the missiles (plus since I was in a hurry I just made the missile bodies a simple cylinder, which I now kind of regret...but it was better than missing the ordering window and not getting these at all).
This material is a lot stronger (or at least less brittle) than the frosted detail plastic and it would almost certainly have been my preferred material for all of my miniature stuff. I hope they bring it back, and soon!
The material they say should be used to replace black acrylate for fine detail work is their "black professional plastic" for which I also printed a test sprue of Stingers and with which I have taken the following comparison shot:
The black acrylate is on the top/right and the "black professional plastic" is on the bottom/left. Is this a suitable replacement material? I say it isn't, but you be the judge...
