The designs for
3D-printed HMS Duke of York conversion parts have been successfully printed in 1/350 and 1/700 scales. They are available from Shapeways.com. Just go to the Model Monkey store (link follows) and select the scale you are interested in from the left side of the page, or select "Royal Navy".
http://www.shapeways.com/shops/Model_MonkeyThese parts can be printed in any scale supported by the printer. If you don't see it in the scale you need, just let me know.
These should be a big help to those converting their Tamiya HMS
King George V kits into a late-war HMS
Duke of York.
For some scales, it is available in both "Frosted Ultra Detail" and "Frosted Extreme Detail" acrylic plastics. Both are printed in the same acrylic plastic using the same $70k printer but at a different resolution. Ultra is the more economical option of the two and is printed in layers 29 microns thick. Extreme is printed in layers just 16 microns thick producing the best detail possible but is more costly because it takes nearly twice as long to print nearly twice as many layers (time = money).
