Spaceships and putting stuff on Facebook...
For the last month or so I've been getting into designing spaceships for table-top gaming.
Initially they were a demonstration of ability for a job interview that has since gone quite. Who knows, I might hear back. But in the mean time I need to put these model designs to use and hopefully earn some money.
The first three available are Freighter types. Mundane run-of-the-mill spaceships, the sort of thing you could have as destroy or protect objectives in a game. Maybe even have them a disguised pirates (The "Executive" would be a good one for that!)
I've made a test print of each, mainly for fun, and added them to a base of cardboard and a piece of white PLA filament as a stand. All held together with blu-tack and PVA glue.
Each model approximately 8cm in length and while I've initially guessed at a scale of 1:1000, I'm reckoning that I need make them larger. As they currently equate to 80 metres long, which isn't that long considering there are sea going yachts longer than that!
There was a design of freighter I submitted first that didn't quite meet the required standards. I'll make it available on Shapeways if anyone requests it. There's only a few issues to fix before it passes the automated checks.
Although I'll most likely print it out for fun at some point. :)
I currently have two more designs of space freighters on the go, of which I have featured on my freshly created Facebook page...which I will elaborate on now....

Facebook page thing!!...
As a way of boosting interest in my Shapeways shop, I have created a Facebook page for Curio Inventorium.
I'll be using this page for more relevant updates for any designs I create. As I have found in the past, I find it easier to announce new designs on Facebook than in this blog. So when I do need to do the blog, I feel like I've told everyone already.
And until I've gotten back into doing some electronics/robotics stuff again, this blog will be a bit quieter.
So by all means, please click on the 'like' button and 'share' my new page. Thank you!! :)
