  • Suppliers - Maurizio's 3D Models

    If you're looking for 3D-printed ships, Maurizio has got you covered. He runs a cottage-industry shop printing his own excellent 3D designs in various scales. His range is still expanding but already includes the British and Italian fleets with some recent Dutch, German and US additions.

    You can soon admire some of Maurizio's models in the Navypedia as they are currently being painted. Some interesting facts about his models: The quality of the models I've received is comparable with the Shapeways Frosted Ultra Detail with comparable smooth texture, light weight and less brittleness. On some tilted surfaces a 'layered' pattern may be visible due to the printer resolution, but generally this is not noticable. Small ships print without the 'banana effect' due to him printing the ships on a grated base which can be easily removed later. Prices vary, but are generally around €14 for a 1/1800 battleship and €11 for a set of 4 1/1800 Destroyers.
