any one know of any companies on shapeways producing WW 1 ships in 1/2400 scale? I have tried many searches and can not find WW 1 ships. Loads of WW 2 ships. Thanks for the help.

This doesn't directly answer your question, but WTJ Miniatures has 3D printed WWI ships (and lots of pre-dreadnoughts) available at: wtj.com/store

I've looked for 1/2400 WWI ships (and pre-dreds) on Shapeways and found a few, but really only one or two from any one source. Lots of WWII, just like you said. [*Sighs deeply*]

WTJ models are better, much better. They have, some,'photos of their models while Shapeways has computer images. And I think the price is better for WTJ models

Another vote for WTJ. Their minis are very nice and reasonably priced. And they're constantly adding to the line.

Agreed about WTJ. Really good quality and decent pricing.

I second the nod for WTJ. I bought some German and French BBs and DDs, looking to get the CAs now. Here's my TMP post on WTJ minis with pictures.

Also, there are plenty of other WTJ reviews as well on TMP.

WTJ are incredible but there are several ships on shapeways that are not made by WTJ. Not a huge number but a few.
