All of the model dimensions are in the product specs in both metric and English units, look there.  ::)
BTW, an inch is equivalent to three barleycorns, if that helps.  Unless you're Scottish.

I will, it was just easier to ask. ;)

From what I understand, the  artist does get a certain percentage of the sale, and they can dictate the amount.  Which is why mb-cg's models are way more affordable than battle-braks, for instance, for a similar size model.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're spot on with it.  I'd actually love it if Shapeways introduced a multi-editing tool for pricing - would make uploading multiple poses just a tad faster since I could dictate the materials and markup just once and have it apply universally to a group of models.

On the weekend I had just tried to order (amongst many things) the Inostrancevia (roaring) but it was rejected for thine walls. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. And some of those models weren't even there at the time!

The Edaphosaurus and Parasaurolophus (both of which I ordered and have posted photos of here in this thread) were both rejected at least once when I ordered them. They turned out okay in the end, but you'll have to expect at least some cancellation when ordering from this shop.

I ordered both models in WSF originally, but Shapeways would not print the Edapho in WSF, so then I switched to WSF polished, which turned out okay (and I'm glad I did, I happen to like the look of polished a lot better).

1:20 Dimetrodon by Geene models, in WSF polished.



So apparently, this is a 1:20 model. It's actually tiny, just over 5 inches (yeah, that's what she said...). It's smaller than Geene model's 1/20 Edaphosaurus (which I also posted earlier in the thread), so it's rather confusing.

Despite the size discrepancy, it's still a very nice model :)

So apparently, this is a 1:20 model. It's actually tiny, around the size of the Invicta Dimetrodon, which would put it in a 1/45 scale, I guess...?

:o What!! The Invicta Dimetrodon is about 8 cm long. Shapeways says this model is about 15 cm long.
       That would be fraud C:-).
Please have a look and tell us how long it is actually!

Sorry, brain fart I guess. I was wrong about the Invicta's size :-X. I'll go back and edit my post.

1/20 Edaphosaurus, in WSF polished.

I got a message today that this version of the Edaphosaurus could not be printed in WSF polished ??? >:(.
Of course there will be extra shipping with a re-order.
Sometimes I hate Shapeways.

Write back to shapeways explaining the situation and ask them to give you free shipping on your next order, They usually do that.  ;)

By default, when an order gets cancelled because a model cannot be printed, Shapeways will refund the order fully with credit which you can use on another item.

Postsaurischian, sorry to hear about the order getting cancelled :(

Looks like Galileo has reuploaded the Edapho again....you could try again if you want.

I ordered a roaring gorgonopsid, but it was cancelled--I was refunded the value of the model, plus the shipping, since I ordered during a free-shipping promo.
