Plastic Warriors · Model Kits and Conversions

With the advent of 3D printing, it has become possible for Plastic Warriors to branch out into releasing model kit conversions.

Please note: You cannot purchase these parts directly from this site—instead, they are available via the Plastic Warriors shop on the Shapeways site. The page you are viewing now shows what’s available and has downloadable instructions to help you make full use of the conversions.

In keeping with the Plastic Warriors philosophy, these models are being sold at cost: the items’ prices are exactly the same as what you would pay if you uploaded the 3D model file that was used to create them to the manufacturer’s site yourself.

Multiple Sets

Some sets are also available in multiples of the same or related sets sold as one. This us because Shapeways charges a fixed start-up cost for a model regardless of its size, plus a variable amount based on the volume of the model: thus, by combining several related models into a single 3D print, the start-up cost for all but one is eliminated.
