It is almost June and they are still giving you the run around? That's not good.
When was the estimated time of delivery?? Did you pass that, too?
There's no estimated delivery, but there's an estimated finished date of production.. Like, a date when it's finished being painted and what-not.. That was over a few weeks ago, I'd have to check on a desktop PC. I'm on my phone right now.
Each time I send them a mail.. I get a mail back that they will "Check the status"...
After that I never hear anything.
I've been asking for a update for the later half of the month, seeing it's way past the final due date... But I can't get an answer out of them..
I didn't buy a printed ship; but I have to say, this whole endeavor doesn't instill much confidence in me. Reason I mention this, is that I recently saw the launcher say there's another round of printed ships around the corner. Brave be those willing to embark on this no-show a second time!
Hey all, I ordered one of the new Gameprint 4in ships and I thought I would share details with the rest of you who are thinking about buying.
I ordered the ToS Connie as my ship. Price was already listed for that model and was $25 USD for mine. Also shipping was spensive. o.o $8USD so budget that in peeps. But over all its cheaper then Eaglemos, we will see if the quality is better or not.
The only con I see so far is the time it takes to make. Takes 4 to 6 weeks to make the ship and for me at least, they said they wont make it until Aug 7th. x.x My guess is they are backed up pretty good. So expect to wait quite a while.
Thats all, hope it helps someone. LLP.

Edit: I just noticed they are also having a promotion where ships are being sold at base price. Not sure what a 4in model will cost at standard price.
The cost can also vary a bit depending on the physical parameters of the ship. I captured a Lethean Pilot Escort before settling on a Patrol Escort. The LPE was 25 while the PE was 20.

Yeah my order for a 4 inch was slated to start even later than that.
Annoyingly, multiple ships have to pay for shipping individually. So no need for me to order more than one for now. Might as well see if they are any good. If they had combined shipping, I would have ordered at least 2 more ships.
Yeah I'm kinda miffed that they don't have a cart. Seems like a pretty basic feature.
Then again, given the price of the initial offerings, I suppose they aren't used to bulk orders. That doesn't excuse the lack of a cart, but it is a potential reason.
Just got that in my e-mail, it's ready for painting and what not. I love the detail of the 3D print, if you look closely.. You can make out each sepperate window, phaser strips and various edges on the saucer and stardrive section, as well as the Nacelle's.

Sweeeeeet. I don't have the time to hand paint something like that myself but I am seriously considering buying a model of USS Bajor, and possibly USS Kalevala (my T6 Odyssey).

Edited my post to make it a bit more clear, I got that picture in my e-mail.. I didn't get the model in the mail, they are going to paint it. But because of the delay it'll take about a month with shipping included.
I'll post pics once I get it. I was thinking I would also post pics, comparing it to a store-bought Galaxy Class model and the ingame model.
Ordered a 4 inch Excalibur class, all through the process the only timeframe mentioned was 3-6 weeks for production ... then after the order was finalized it said production will begin on September 17th ... good thing I wasn't getting it for someone's birthday or something ...
One thing I'm curious about since the the Excalibur is an older, lower res model, will they be printing it exactly as it is in game, or will they round out the angular polygons they were clearly meant to be curved? I'd prefer the latter, but I'll understand if it's the former.
if they come angled, you could always round them yourself with sandpaper...but then you'd need to repaint those areas unless you got the printed color model

Gameprint extended my delivery again because they had too many orders. We're passing the extended deadline and still nothing, and they are still not replying to e-mails.
I better be blown away by the quality of the ship when it arrives....
I ordered the ship on March the 17th. That's about 3 and a half months of waiting with zero updates and zero communication except some emails saying it's delayed "2-3 weeks".
They said that due to the long wait, we'd get a free gift in the mail within a week.. That was also a few weeks ago, lol.

No offense, but since it looks like your ship is a standard Galaxy-class ship, I have to ask: WHY would you even bother with Gameprint? Here's a plastic Galaxy-class ship on eBay for $5. Surely it would've been much cheaper and way less of a hassle to just buy a Enterprise-D toy, paint it yourself, and add your own decals (or pay a model maker to do it for you). Again, I'm not trying to antagonize you or anything, but I'm just wondering: why deal with Gameprint and their high prices if you don't have to?
After only 4 months, 19 weeks, 134 days, it's here. It's real! U.S.S. Tempest
I was informed that my customized starship requires more time to finish. They are promising a small gift within a week? I don't know what to expect. I don't like waiting even longer, but I figured I was gambling my money anyway. I really wonder what's so hard about a Connie kitbash.

No response there either. Though I just recently did that.
I did however get a response from Gameprint a minutes ago...
With the shipping they estimate about another month.
The ship was just 3D printed, and it's going to be painted soon. They sent me a pic of it and stuff.
So the wait continues!
Please, post pics (with fireworks and parades) once you get your ship.

4 inch is only printed color, not painted
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
that would be so awesome i can't see it happening, it would melt their 3d printers with the demand! xD
