Yes, that's a possibility in the future 2.0 kit. It would be a more combiner-only kit with beefy thighs, new head, etc.

Look like I'm going to have to start putting aside more money for another 3rd party company  Yours...
After visiting your site there is quite a few piceces I want now.
Anyways looks awesome great work cannot say enough.. KUDOS. 
PS glad you replaced FOC back cannon. |
Thanks! I have used AutoCAD before (and it's awesome) but this task a solid modeling program is best because it's very 3d...but yeah I use calipers to measure and some parts can take upwards of two hours to measure reference geometry alone....plus sculpting, plus mechanical / analysis plus tolerancing. Some parts have 10-20 hours invested!
But it is fun and once the hard work is done, it's really rewarding to get the part in hand from Shapeways.

This is the most common feedback I get. I'd love to go to production with this...am looking for trustworthy contacts but in the meantime I will release on Shapeways to at least get it out there.
I'm also hoping some people will help by commissioning painted sets...we'll see.
