Shadow 3D

Update on the 1/72 Saturn IB orders/pre-orders, I am still troubleshooting my Jupiter 2 printer needed to print some of the parts. The printer is currently dead and I am working with Elegoo to get it working again. I have bought a different printer that can do the job that should arrive in about a week and will need some time to learn the new machine.

I am printing the 1/144 kits and will start printing the parts I can for the 1/72 kit. I am working on getting the replacement parts printed for the kits bought at Nationals and the decals finished. Unfortunately, troubleshooting the printer has nearly monopolized my time. Getting and keeping printers running has been like playing Whack-A-Mole the last few weeks.

Just to let everyone know I may be slow responding to emails, I am taking about 10 days of vacation after Nationals.

Here are some preview pictures of the final prototype print of the 1/144 Saturn IB. I just need to finish the decals and instructions this week and I will start printing kits to fulfill the pre-orders. If you pre-ordered a kit and would like to pick it up at Nationals, please let me know.
