I am currently working on a set of custom 1:18 scale weapons. I know some of these alrady exist in 1:18 scale, but some I don't like their size or proportions, so I am doing my own.
First is the prototype for a FN FAL. Next are the concept 3D art for an MP5-N and a UMP45. Last edited by Falcone; 08-18-2013 at 05:54 AM.. |

Are you using shapeways to get them made? Would you be willing to work for commission?

I like the detail on the FAL. Are these protos done in wax then casted ? I have always been curious because I lack the talent.

These are printed with a 3D printer from shapeways. I cannot do commissions, I actually commission a lot of the 3D work out to someone else. If there is enough interest down the line I might contract a factory to produce these. But considering the very high cost of tooling, it would be a big decision to make.
Edit: And yes I know the cost of factory production, I've already talked with several factories on costs of tooling and production. Last edited by Falcone; 11-25-2011 at 07:28 PM.. |

Does anybody have any suggestions on 1:18 scale weapons that are badly needed? If I do go into production with these I will want at least 10 different weapons on a spur to save tooling costs. As it stands I only have 5 weapons planned.
I won't be able to do modular, that's a little too advanced for me. Though I hope to do two variants of the FAL, one with a scope and one with a carry handle like Rip Cord's. |

The weapon costs $6 each through Shapeways because the high detail material is needed. It's not really practical to sell them that way. I will either be hand casting them (I have over 8 years experience casting), or going into actual production.
