Started in 2013 ... it turns out a long time ago.
The main topic is historical vehicles (tanks) and bits for 40k. And despite my expectations, the historical models are almost never sold. Single sales in 1/160 and 1/87. Therefore, I have more and more 40k bits for even if I did not plan it.
I hope that I will get feedback here to figure out which new models are needed, which are not needed and which of the existing ones need to be remodel.
Attention with the store lots as some items are out of date (no sprue etc) or not tested yet. There is no refund (unless printing quality).
Feel free to tell me about the problems you saw with the models (use 3d view to observe) even if you are not going to buy anything.
I cannot test all the models myself, otherwise I will go into a monstrous minus in money, but the Wanhao 7 printer will help me with this

And a few recent updates:


Yes, this is an alternative SW Empire trooper head for the Space Marine
http://shpws.me/SLSF


Pretty universal heads, best suited for imperial guards. You can use hats/helmets or sculpt hair from greenstuff.
http://shpws.me/SKYW


These are space sister style heads but can also be used for 28mm heroic female models like imperial women guards
http://shpws.me/SL3B


Are you blinded by the coolness of this character? This is a space crusader with power sword, in general a test model, but it is really cool.

I also created youtube channel

The vehicles are very well done. The rest I'm not a fan of. But there's a lot of potential here. I feel like you could have spent a lot more time on the heads.

As far as topology goes, it's fairly good, but it doesn't need to be so low for most printers.

Good stuff keep up the solid work.

What programs are you using?

latest tank models are in 1/100 and 1/87
creating, for example, 10 different faces is absolutely not profitable for the time spent, so I used software generation
programs are GMax(old), 3ds Max, some soft from computer game makers and online model editors, I was also trying CADs

I've been looking for good bald male/female heads to use as conversion bases, but I'd rather print them myself. Actually, you've got a LOT of conversion head packs I'd be interested in buying in STL format.

I can add them to CGTrader or another platform (suggest me)
NOT Turbosquid
p.s. and NOT myminifactory

More people are asking for files to print on their own. And I looked where I can put models for selling.

CGtrader - I like their interface and friendly attitude, there are already several my files but the site is more focused on models for computer games (if I see it correctly)

Cults3d - Nice site but full of free files I'm not sure what can be sold if you can just download it for free there. But the advantage is that this is a special site for 3D printing. Perhaps I will upload 40k stuff there

Wargaming3d - They have categories of time periods and scales, which are convenient for placing and searching historical wargame models. I like it.

Turbosquid - Terrible interface, dishonest interest fees, and finally deleted my stuff for "selling weapons" crazy?

Myminifactory - Charged me $25 for $0 revenue. Never again.

Actually, Shapeways prints at good quality and prices yes higher than home printing but low in comparison with other 3d print services
For some strange reason, Shapeways began to hide the fact that they have a model marketplace, so I would have to more posting on the Internet.

A little update on FoW
Churchills III and IV
Katyusha launcher

What's next:
I'm going to make an revise/update of 40k IG tank turrets and will also be available as a files (probably on cult3d)
