Now I've done shapeways before but only in WSF and for non war at sea projects.
My WSF has come out great in the past, as I soaked the miniature in soapy water, then primed it. The end result looked far better than anything I have seen people do in WSF.
I did C.O.B.'s version in WSF and have Tiny Thingamajigs' (in FUD) primed and ready to be painted. Here's a couple of shots of the WSF version which was a very clean print for WSF:
I have Matt's Amagi, Hiei, Hyuga, Ise and Nagato primed and ready to be painted, but haven't found the time to crank them out. I've also got Team Blue Games' BB13 and C.O.B.'s Hiraga and Fujimoto sculpts ready to go.
