It's an IS-4M and it's expensive unfortunately. I've hollowed and hollowed and hollowed until I can't hollow anymore. Looks pretty cool though and should look great with some extra bits on it.

It would be nice to at least buy a Supporting Membership so you can advertise in the Marketplace.
Better yet, pay for a Sponsoring Membership to become an advertiser.

Wasn't aware I needed either. As of late I usually do have a supporting membership but whenever I buy it it takes you guys 5 days to activate it. Delete the thread if you like.

I have nothing to do with management. Just making a helpful suggestion.

Well that was a little less than helpful wasn't it.

That is one beautiful design there Omnijackal, your modelling skills are fantastic.

To drop the cost have you ever considered getting resin models cast off of your original designs.

Shapeways prices tend to put a lot of potential customers off.

Drop me a line if we can be of assistance.

That's actually my next step. I just finalized the model with added fuel and smoke tanks so the only thing left to add is a DSHK HMG which is too small to print and a log which some people may not want. I'm going to order the model tonight and make a silicon mold of it and do a very limited run of maybe 10 to 50 tanks which will be sold for about $20 USD a piece. I'm not an experienced caster but I have a local guy that can help me out. If it's popular I will cast tanks until the mold is destroyed.

Really? His link shows them for sale.
I was merely telling him TMP policy before someoen (not me) reports it to one of the editors and his thread gets yanked.

But, carry on, while I find somewhere else to be less than helpful.

Please go do that and let the editors do their own jobs. People post links to items for sale here all the time. In fact, every post on the entire site is about something that's for sale unless the item is scratch built. If nobody posted shapeways links then nobody would know about cool new vehicles on shapeways.

LOL. Remind me to stay off his lawn.

It's OK to post about Shapeways items.
