Here we go!

My brother works at a company that can print almost any object in amazing resolution.

He printed my wooden base on a huge machine and the result is... stunning!

This opens possibilities. How about a wooden base with a color printed ww2 arial map? Or FW190 factory drawings? Etc etc... 

 

Who would be interested?

I'm kinda exploring some options with Uschi at the moment.

 

Printing proces. A machine that vacuum sucks the wood to it's place and prints with 7 colors:

The result:

Wow, that looks amazing Jeroen. Presumably it works best on something with a very smooth surface like the MDF rather than natural timber?

 

Does create lots of interesting possibilities though.

Hi Gus,

 

I've seen many samples on different materials printed by this machine. Even rough wood printed with photo's. The effect is even more cool. I'll order different kind of wooden bases and do some tests. I want to scan some ww2 escape maps (from different theaters) and see how they work out. The cool thing is that this printer can even print white ink, which ensures proper depth in the artwork.

Thanks for the clarification Jeroen. Pretty cool that it can even print in white. I hate to think what it costs.

I'm looking into that at the moment. I think a normal base (25x25cm) would cost 25 euro's. That's for the wood, woodworking and printing.

Cheers guys!

Plucking away at the camo and strengthening the demarcation lines.

 

In other news: I received James' metal from the real 4D+FH!! Figuring out a way to attach it to the base tastefully.

 

Sprayed the wing root RLM02. 

 

Next up: Masking the codes and balkenkreuz.

Way too cool.  B)

 

I wither before the shrine of your individuality and creativeness.

 

No, I really, really do. That is awesome shit! Just love that display option. Maybe cut the metal down some to fit to base?
