If you saw a product on Shapeways in HO scale could your have it printed in 1/25 scale?

Sometimes you can contact the designer of the item and they can make it available in a different size. Look on the right side of the product page for a "contact designer" message link.

Interesting could you post some pictures here of your products in the finished condition with a tire i'm curious to see what tire fits your wheels.

most of my wheels fit pegasus tires, sometimes i draw my own tires to fit wheels or make the wheel fit a car with the tire looking odd

I'm pretty happy with Shapeways. There will be more Shapeways like services that will pop up as the prices for the machines continue to come down.

I've used Quick Parts, Protolabs, Solid Concepts.

Keep in mind, SLA parts are not archival! They are not solid materials and will eventually warp. Best to mold and cast those parts.

FDM and SLS are fine. SLS is hard to sand (can use super glue as a sealer)
