When printing with SLA or DLP tech the cost of the material itself, UV curing resin, tend to be really high. Depending on the printer, as high as 50 bucks for 500 ml of the resin. Hence the price. Shapeways has always been a bit pricey, though.
I've received Greg's book last night and let me tell you: WHAT A DELIGHT! Nothing beats the smell of a new book being handled!
A beautiful, straight forward written book. I love it. Oh, and let's not forget the freebies! GReat stuff too!
Although I don't intend to sculpt my own figures, it'll...
I'm guessing the sculptor wanted the eyes to look to that exact direction to acompany the feel of the sculpture. Easy enough to fix it with a little epoxi putty, right?
I really like it. I'll probably buy it later this year.
I'd also like a second head for the dog, if possible.
And I´ll probably sculpt a moustache on his face. He looks too WWII for my taste.
