So a surprise for you guys. Shapeways order just came in and I just finished assembling it.
It's a 1:12 scale, non-feathered Velociraptor made from WSF and Elastiplastic. I have a feathered version in the works and will print that later once it's done. This is maybe the fourth thing I've ordered in EP and it has met my expectations splendidly. Only complaint about the material is that some layers in the stepping were loose at the bottom but all in all a success. The elasticity paired with the tiny rings I designed within the peg holes keep the pegs and ball ends in nice and snug. Too bad EP is a maker-material and can't be sold via one's shop.
On a related note, these damn 5mm joints are a bitch to assemble. Didn't help that this WSF print was a hair thicker than usual from tolerances being +/-.15 or so. Last time it made peg holes too loose being a hair wider.
If I sell anything using EP it'll have to be through EBay, BST, etc since the EP would have to come to me first.
