SR-71 & X-15 Pilots

For when the time comes... 

 

X-15, seated and standing

Very nice if they print like the CAD shows.   The purchase option only show "Smoothest fine detail Plastic" for the process and material.  Based on my years of experience with Shapways printing service with the chosen material,  that material prints in layers which no matter how thin the layer setting are set.   To print smooth like the CAD shows it needs to be printed using and SLA printer, and that option is not offered.  IF the designer is here on LSP,   An SLA print option would be a welcome choice even at a higher price point.

 

Got to say that the pilots look fantastic!  This is no way intended as a complaint.

This is the point indeed.

I'll be getting the X-15 pilot as I want to display the kit in flight, will post photos when I receive it, even if it is a bit rough, hopefully not, it's going to be hard to see through the tiny windows.

Not a fan of Shapeways finish but I get a job in from time to time , Halfords grey primer followed by Mr Primer Surfacer 1500 straight on top of the Halfords before it dries. I know it sounds daft but "it works for me"

It needs to be slightly less expensive, and would be cool with a visor-down option. I don't much fancy getting a paint brush in there.

 

Have the X-15 with tanks and resin ground dolly, but would buy one of these to put in a U-2R Dragon Lady.
