Hi does anyone make these in resin, I have had a look and the only ones I see are 3d printed and the cost plus postage is too much. Thanks

If you are referring to the ones offered on Shapeways check to see if you have the right currency selected. Shapeways has a facility in Europe as well as the United States and when you search online and find an item you want to buy it defaults to the United States. I think you have to change to Euros to get it to ship from Europe (I think it’s in the Netherlands).
If you or your modeling club has access to a 3D printer then you can download them as 3D printable files from Cults3D.

Hi I did check the currency, it was euros and the postage was almost as much as the item.

I don’t know why the postage would be so high, especially since most of the products Shapeways makes will fit into a small box. Is it something to do with Brexit?
What’s the shipping to have it made in the US and shipped to Europe?

Hi I guess it’s to do with brexit, I put that it was going to be shipped to Germany and the postage halved. I will see about using the programme you highlighted or even give making them myself. I think it strange that no one makes them in resin, I can get ammo boxes for all the other aa guns Meng produce

Hello,
I also needed some extra ammo cannisters for a M113 mounted ZU-23/2.
I replicated the two cannisters that were in the zu-23/2 kit.
My mould was done with dual component sylicon.
For the casting, I used SINTOFER putty.
Because the material tends ton contract when drying, I had to repeate the porcess.
I eventually managed to get something good enough for what I wanted…
It was fun testing this method.
Next time I’ll be using the greenstuff resin.
Good luck to you
