I've been following a few prop threads over at the RPF and I'm blown away by what people are getting printed up. It got me thinking of all the great models I've seen over here and how I would LOVE to have actual physical models!
I would love to figure out how to prototype the Colonial Communicator and then send that thing off to get it printed up. As a prop collector, this technology amazes me.
