Hello there!

After learning a bit about 3D modeling while earning my Associate Degree in Architectural Technology, I decided to apply some of what I learned to custom 3D designs for gaming applications. Now I am selling my designs through Shapeways. My shop is just getting started and I'm trying to spread the word.

The main products I am currently offering are dice (designed to be printed in metals, but also available in plastics), various bits and accessories, as well as bases with built-in wound tracking so you don't need to have dice or tokens next to your models any more.

Thank you for your attention! If you have questions, comments, or criticisms, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am all about listening to what you have to say!

I like the health dial bases. Have you built any model on them and painted them up yet? I would love to see some "in use". I think the biggest problem with shapeways shops is not being entirely sure of what your getting. The easiest way to show us that is to put some pics up.

Also. It looks like you would need to pick up the model to move the dial. The dial should be extending to an open slot on the side of the base and have some rough texture/teeth on the side of the disk so that you can spin it easily with your finger while the model is on the table.

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

In the casting shack.

I'm interested but I would also like to see some actual pictures of the bases.

I totally understand what you mean about not being totally sure what you'll get from Shapeways. I went through a couple of prototypes before I was happy with the larger bases. The 120x92 oval base is the only one I've had personally printed thus far and that product does have some pics already. I'm in the process of converting a Skaven Hellpit Abomination into a Giant Chaos Spawn that will go on that base. I will absolutely update once I have images for any of the others. The 60mm and larger all use the same measurements for the disk as the large oval and I'm confident in those.

Regarding the variant with the exposed dial: That was actually my next planned iteration of these bases and I'll be sure to update this thread once I've got those going. I appreciate the feedback!

Well, Let me know when you have the next iterations done and some pictures of them in action. I will probably be interested in those.
