This time we have for you the Leopard 1A4 in 144th. (Slightly delayed, since the moderns and sci-fi releases got flipped this month.)
This was necessary as the run-up for next month’s release, the Gepard.
Leopard 1A4
Direct price: £3.75 The Shop3D price: £4.19 (Resin)/£10.19 (Nylon) Link Shapeways price: $10.70 (£7.60) Link

Next month, then, will be the Gepard; after that is currently up in the air, but I have one and one possible commission in the works, so it might be one of those.
Finally, for anyone that didn’t see the Facebook post a PSA: Sorting Shapeways sections in a sensible fashion.
Shapeways has never fixed their webshop’s sorting feature. You can sort the entire catalogue by newest/name etc. instead of the arbitrarily random default order, but if you select a shop section and try to sort it, takes you out of the section and applies the sort to the whole catalogue. (Shapeways seems actively uninterested in fixing the problem.)
Raising the issue on their forums AGAIN, I as usual had no official response, but yesterday, poster woody64 told me that it can be done, by changing the url address.
If you replace the end of the shop section url “&s=0” e.g.
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/aotrs_shipyards?section=Manoeuvre+Group+Models+(Modern+144)&s=0
with “&sort=name”, it will actually do what it supposed to do.
and “&sort=newest” it will sort by newest.
I appreciate it is a massive pain to have to do it manually, but it means at least I can include links like those above (for instance, when I do a new starfleet release or something), but at least I can tell you all about the option. As to whether Shapeways will actually ever fix it so it works properly, your guess is as good as mine, but I’m willing to lay odds TheShop3D will have shop sections that will work before they ever do…
