Richard Thomason shared these photos of some painted and decaled N scale woodchip hoppers built using my woodchip hopper designs
printed by Shapeways. This is what is possible when Shapeways delivers
sufficient quality. But Shapeways is still not consistent in its print
quality, so if you ever receive a substandard printed model (i.e. warped
or inconsistent printing of details) ask for a reprint.
