If interested, here are materials, and printing processes used with them:

Notice it says "Selective Laser Sintering." That print process can be found in this list...scroll down:

The other one...the tan fine detail is this:

That uses the "Material Jetting" print process, which captures details much better. The bulk of the over half dozen orders I have made with Shapeways have been in this material. A description of Material Jetting is also in this list. Scroll down:

Well, I'm trying a "printed" ship model. I'll admit, some of the CAD renderings scared me at first, but some research & some questions, and I've ordered a 1/700 Barnegat-class Seaplane Tender off of Shapeways. I didn't mess with any of the upcharges so looking at mid-late January
We will see.
