Though I’m still searching for a kit of the USS Mt. Hood, I’ve decided to get rolling onto another project, the 1/72 scale Flower-Class Corvette. Does anyone have any suggestions for after market sets or tips on how to make this kit POP? The kit that I own is an old boxing so there are no PE frets included with it. Wooden decks, PE, resin, or 3-D sets would be great. My plan is to set it in a water base so figure sets would be nice to have too. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Their photoetch line is reportedly so extensive that the only remaining kit parts is the hull pieces onto which detail parts (rivets, etc.) are appliqued
Oh, and a note to the Captain’s last … Shapeways has declared bankruptcy and ceased operations in the States. I believe that I heard that their European operations (Amsterdam?) may still be functional.
Shapeways filed for bankruptcy on July 2, 2024. Several other forums had discussions about their bankruptcy. Some of the various Shapeways shops have invested in their own printers or contracted with other 3D printer sources.
