I'm working on a 1:144 scale model of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket:
My usual method is to fabricate the model parts from styrene or balsa wood. This time I'm trying something different: I'm going to have some parts printed by Shapeways.
I've started with the parts for the payload fairing:
The parts could be printed in this state, but I want to refine the design a bit more (the nose cone in particular needs to be smoother than it is now).
I'm working on the engines at the moment. That's a more complex shape: I want to create the entire engine section (9 engines) as one part.
