Recently, Amarillo Design Bureau set up their own storefront on Shapeways, offering various designs from the Star Fleet Universe.
The minis on offer are in one of three scales: "3788" Scale (which match the metal Starline 2400 series minis that ADB has done in the past); "3125" Scale (the same as that used for the Starline 2500 minis made in tandem with Mongoose Publishing, primarily for A Call to Arms: Star Fleet); and "Omni" Scale (which work in either scale, or are for units which would not fit neatly in either category).
Some of the designs are inherited directly from ADB's limited access to the Paramount/CBS Franchise, such as the Federation Constitution-class heavy cruiser and the Klingon D7 battlecruiser; others are created for one of the "TV empires" as they appear in the SFU proper, such as the Romulan Vulture and DemonHawk; while yet others belong to "SFU-native" species and empires, such as the Seltorian heavy cruiser and destroyer.
(In the SFU setting, the Tholians were once masters of the M81 Galaxy, until they were violently overthrown in a galaxy-wide revolt; the Tholian population in the Milky Way is descended from a group of exiles which fled M81 during that era of turmoil. The Seltorians were an insectoid "enforcer species" genetically-engineered by the Tholians to enforce their Will; however, once they found a way to break the infamous Tholian web, they turned on their masters and set out to pursue them to our galaxy.)
