The Rail Connection Kits on eBay

I was browsing eBay the other day and stumbled on a few listings by The Rail Connection for some 3D printed Milwaukee Road, and C & NW passenger depot kits. They are very impressive looking but also pricey.

Before taking the plunge I thought I’d solicit any feedback from the TRW community. Has anyone bought one of hus kits? I have yet to put together my first kit and would love to know any positives or negatives of a 3D printed kit versus a Lunde kit or CMR kit or a Woodland scenics kit.
Much appreciated,
Peter

No feedback, but a photo of the actual 3D print would be nice.

For those prices, I would want some visual evidence of the quality of the prints.

I'm fairly certain printing those in one piece is NOT the best way to do it...
I've seen their stuff show up from time to time. Usually smaller structures.
It's an interesting concept. I'm curious how it actually works out though.

There is an exploded image that indicates they are printed in pieces - flat walls and other components.
