Remember, someone still has to do all the basic research, then translate this into a CAD model, whatever 'making' processes are used to make the physical model. And to get models of this size and quality, reckon on spending the thick end of a million for all the kit you see in action in the vid! Prices have come down massively over the 20-odd years these technologies have been around, but it will be a while yet before you will be able to build really useful parts at really sensible prices on a machine that doesn't cost a fortune. And is even vaguely reliable.....
 
But it will happen. In the meantime, I recommend you all learn some CAD skills, then get some parts made by one of the Rapid Prototyping bureaux that have sprung up all over the world. This is a quick and inexpensive way into this sort of technology. And nothing beats seeing your first set of REAL designs!

Hi Perry,
I have a ID models copy, no canopy just the main parts.

Hi,
We have some new Wings figures, a USAAF bomber crewman in body armour and a couple of ladies from the RAF and Luftwaffe.
Will try and get some pics next week.
Also we will have some pictures of a forthcoming release from the Japan the pictures will be on the net on Monday but we have special permission to show the images at the show.
 
All the best

Hi Guys,
I have been watching this with interest as the Swordfish is an aircraft MDC is quite familiar with we did the 1st 1/48 scale model about 15 years ago. We used  some unpublished information from the late Ian Huntley so we hope the kit and parts we made were accurate.
We have made the floatplane in 1/48 and are happy with the results.
On the 1/32 scale front we have the Universal Carrier available and shortly the rockets the Trumpeter one don't look right, so a couple of conversions could work.
On the negative side the Trumpeter Mk1 has the fitting for the floatplane and some 3D prints have been noted on the interweb.
On the positive side we will look at this (No promises)  so if you have any questions or input please PM me via LSP or drop me a line on bob.mdc@btinternet.com
 
All the best

Hi,
Have been using and selling Mr Surfacer for a few years now and showing how to remove the hardened excess without sanding with a bit of IPA or thinners in demos still get the comment "that's why they use it in reviews"
I always use a rattle can for primers as the pigment is a bit courser than paint and is not to healthy for a fine airbrush.
A new Mr Surface/Primer 1000 is available for multi material jobs and we have no have Mr Surfacer 1500 in grey or black.
If anybody want's a bit more info on Mr S just drop me a line.

Hi,
I had a request for some 05 cal ammo feeds so a bit of 3D work
 
 

 
Then a bit of playing about with materials the chutes and the belts are separates parts.
Hope to have them on the site in a day or so.

Hi,
Just to let you know that a new company Wings pilot figures will have it's first releases shortly. They will be 1/32 pilots some of them seated, they have some of the top sculptors working for them and future release look great and will cover a large area of subjects WW2, WW1 Allied and Axis.
I hope to some pictures shortly.
