Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Retro Rocket: [B]I'm working on four X-15 models, one is the 1/15th 66670 that was in my aero design exhibit. The other three are 1/40th desktops for a friend. One is the A-3 Delta, the other two are the A-2 and A-3 with the Marquadt SERJ engines which look pretty darn slick. They are 3D printed using archival material, not PLA. Here are a few images. The finished models will have decals. Hope you enjoy. <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/retrorocket/x15_models01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/retrorocket/x15_models01.jpg" width="400" height="175" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/retrorocket/x15_models02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/retrorocket/x15_models02.jpg" width="400" height="175" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/retrorocket/x15_models03-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/retrorocket/x15_models03.jpg" width="400" height="175" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]

Now I think its SLS 12. Boy howdy it's white, strong, flexible. Not biodegradable like PLA. Its a pain to sand but the parts have almost no layer lines and it takes primer really well.</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
