Heres a 1/72 scarf ring I had printed and a 1/48 Lewis gun. I am having to do a little more work on the ring as it was too fragile. The handle broke off the Lewis gun so am making that a little stronger.

The finest detail the the 3D printer I have access to is 0.2mm (0.007" for those over the pond).

If any one has dimensional details of a turn buckle !!!! that might be an interesting project.

The detail was too fine for 1/72 scale, but this is what it looks like in 1/48 straight out of the printer, original kit chair is on the right.

Any possiblity of better photos of the seat? From what I can see your printed work is a big improvement my friend. Looking forward to seeing more.

3d printing is certainly some very interesting stuff.

Here's the painted chair.

No promises.

But I will look at getting a few printed off at 1/48. Just PM me a mailing address.  They come encased in a gel, so you have to very carefully remove this gel with a scalple as close to the plastic as possible. I they use an old toothbrush under hand hot running water to clean up the seat, be warned they are fragile. A soak in in warm soapy water to remove any final trace of the gel a quick rinse and dry and your good to go.

Very nice - what colours did you use for the cane work, it looks quite convincing.

  Mark,
I'm in awe of the work you've done here my friend. I truly am amazed at the details that can be printed out using this technology. I can't help but wonder if it's possible to apply this technology to all types of details such as complete engines as well. Keep up your excellent works my friend and thank you for sharing this process with us all.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

PS: Should you do the same in 1/32 scale I would surely purchase several. Off the top of my head I can think of several kits in this scale that could really benefit ,like the HobbyCraft/Academy Sopwith Camel.

  Mark, I agree with Paul the cane work painting is quite convincing.

That seat is outstanding, Yorki.  Maybe the best I've seen in 1/72 scale. 
Cheers,
Bud
