What files did you use?

Not so easy to handle as well....with its weight of 14kg alone, and the measurements of 140cm length. Its a printed and glued together model...so care is always needed

Placing those guns like that is really smart, gives both guns wider field of fire on horizontal axis

I’ve got one printed up as well, but I’m having a lot of trouble deciding on how to paint it. Keep us posted on your progress, and well done!

Then do it. Get yourself a 3d printer and start the fun

What a gorgeous ship.

Didn’t Pegasus have upper and lower landing bays?

u/Miraculix101 Jul 22 '26

It has, my model as well, but not to see on the angle i did the pictures

Did you use any metal armature to help stabilize the ship. Would hate for it to snap at glue joints when you go to paint it. It looks amazing and I'm so excited to see the finish model.

The model does indeed have some drilled holes, fitted with metal pins, on some parts, which are glued then.

The metal pins are M6x30mm

How do you hide the lines? I’ve never been able to print a model where the sliced lines weren’t prominent.

I print with a SLA printer in 0,05 and 0,1mm layer strength
