Shapeways is a company that got some nice 3-D printers (the kind that cost as much as a small house, not the $1000 makers) and makes money by printing designs submitted to them. A lot of Transformers fans use it to make weapons or new hands, but a few have taken the challenge of making entire figures, including little minions that will fit in the chest of War for Cybertron Soundwave. I suppose these could count as "Lesser Kitbashes" or "Minor Mods" or even just paint jobs, but I'm gonna give them their own category. With the addition of Titans Return faceplates from Trent Troop's Prize Inside, I started spending more money on Shapeways. I'm slowly expanding to 3-D printing services other than Shapeways, though, so I've renamed the category.
