FAQ:

• How did you make it?

  • In Blender, using the game as a reference. This is not the in-game model.

• How did you print it?

  • On various Elegoo printers, with Elegoo Standard 2.0 resin.

• How big is it?

  • The bigger one is about 4.5" long. The smaller is closer to 2.8".

• Can I have the files?

  • You sure can!

• What did you use to paint it?

  • You can find a full list of the paints in the Thingiverse post.

• Can I buy one?

  • Yep!

• Did you modify, print, and paint an entire Rocinante just to make a "legitimate salvage" joke?

  • You bet I did. It's even scaled to be (more or less) accurate!

A few months ago I felt like making a paper starship. Wanted to do an easier model than the Taiidan frigate I made a few years ago. Thought ‘hey the Kushan carrier is mostly large flat surfaces, I’ll go for that one’. I mean, it was the first one I tried from Paper Starships nearly 20 years ago, I should find it easy!

I forgot how ridiculously fiddly the bridge and underbelly sections were, it took ages! Then I remembered the one I made 20 years ago was really messy and mid-shaped. 😂 At least I did a neater job this time.

Now to see if the next one I make will be one I haven’t tried before, or if I cave and make my fourth Taiidan Heavy Cruiser.

Just showing off my most recent creation. Super fun time making this! Each time I looked at reference it seemed there was another little panel or decal I had missed, lol. I got the file from Cults3D and scaled up to around 1/72 scale. Enjoy!

Such a shame we didn't get that great of a game for HW3. Such good memories.

First series of the fleet, more will come later.

Imperialist enjoyers may proceed freely.

Just about done with this. I don’t think it’s accurate to any particular Vaygr craft, correct me if I’m wrong. I didn’t aim to model any one ship, more just nail the overall vibe of the Vaygr. Printed from files on Thingiverse, enhanced with some styrene panels and other greebles I added. Around 1/7 scale.
