I just want to say Thank You So Much! to Matte Painter for creating these awesome models, and making them available for us to use. Both of them look amazing!

I've been wanting to have a model of this wonderful sculpture. Ever since I was a young boy, I would watch this film with my father, it is one that we both enjoy to this day.

I'd like to ask if anybody has a method for me to acquire a casting of a model that I can display in my home.

Thanks for reading!

Here's one rendition of the trimaxion drone ship. It still needs some shell tweaking so it matches the original model. I still think it looks unique.

Trimaxion Drone Ship (Flight of the Navigator)

Medium poly mesh with detailed topography. Here is a model of the Trimaxion Drone Ship from the Flight of the Navigator with its shell-like appearance! Halves of the Trimaxion Drone Ship are included as well as the full model. Ready to 3D print! Hope you enjoy! (Future updates to come!)

Very nice rendition. Agreed, still such a unique design. The contours draw you in the longer you stare

I loved this thread. December 2021 I started to read this thread because I was trying to find a 3d model of the ship. I ended up just watching the movie a lot, taking screenshots and redid the ship completely. I needed to redo the ship as I was doing it Playmobil size or 1:24 size and I ended up also doing the interior. The interior have removable wall panels for the alien section, and have a flat and outside, chair, engines and control arms. I also have Max that is able to move on a rail system. The door is removable and stairs can also be added. I will have a bigger post when I have time and will be sharing all of the 3d models.

That's amazing. So cleverly done.
I love that you made it for playmobil. Thanks for posting!

Well, I finally got around to photographing my 3d prints I think the damn Molotow chrome is still soft in places and it's been sat there since before Christmas!

The finish is amazing - brilliant job!

Download the STL for printing here:

Shapeways link here that will be the same scale as before. Works out a little more expensive, though it's coming in at a respectible 6 inches long.

Cool thread. Always loved this design for a spaceship.

Love the attention to detail put into getting the 3D models correct and I appreciate that you make them available.

Just wanted to alert you that the download link no longer works.

This thread is simply incredible. I'm sure I imagined back in the day how cool it would be to make something like the 3 droid from Silent Running, (to give a hint what back in the day means to me). But I had to settle with taking old models with missing parts and cutting, molding, sanding and gluing together what would look like....... junk. To see a snap shot of a on-line community that starts with an impossible request of the me 50 years ago makes me smile like a kid again.

The second link works, for the speedy version. And that one has a link "by the same seller" that has a working link for the normal version.
