the Scout & trader were something like $20 each, the lab ship (type L) I picked the cheapest at $40, and not really happy with it. but it will do.Yea, see I can't speak to the big ring thing, but I'd like to think that the scout and far trader aren't any $70 to print.
And I wasn't suggesting you can get a printer to $70 (maybe you can, I hope it's clear I know ][ much about 3D printing). But start printing 2, 3, 4 of them, and you're, as I understand it, starting to get in the ball park.
Shapeways does have a number of selections for material and all that which in turn affect resolution and price. Better resolution/material = more expensive.
