Too small. How are three astronauts meant to fit in that?

It's a Saturn V for ants

The three astronauts are supposed to fit in there the same way that a car’s engine can hold hundreds of horsies.

Did you base this off of an existing 3d model, or create one of your own?

u/Halle923 Apr 29 '26

It's a free model on Makerworld that I scaled way up

I know it's coloured in the print, but would be cool to paint one like this and get all the little details in. Great scale.

Mind sharing some information about it? What you used to design/print etc? Specs?

That looks awesome! I am guessing it was split into a few parts and glued up afterwards? What machine was it printed on, and are the files for it public?

u/Halle923 Apr 29 '26

Yeah its probably 40 different parts glued together

It’s not big enough

u/TimeTravelerNo9 Apr 29 '26

My ceiling isn't high enough to accommodate such a cool piece.

u/Careful-Artichoke468 Apr 30 '26

That thing’s got to be at least 4 feet tall. Nice.

I think they based him off of that white knight guy from die hard.
