4 foot Event Horizon print

[E=MC2]

Here are some parts that are done so far.
Will update as I go along so keep an eye out for pictures.
Also I have a Lewis and Clark kit to go with the Event Horizon.

Using a metal rod for a spine to glue parts around?

Yes, 1/2" galvanized pipe should do it.

Nice looking prints. What printer are you using?

Will be watching this build with interest. Obtained some very detailed drawings in the past of this gothic space ship. I can scratch build a good structure, but the surface details are far too complex using without 3D printing. Then, like everything else in model building methods, experience is needed and you are on a great start to do the unique design justice.

Looking good so far! I really love this ship and the movie! It came out at the right time where I was young enough to be just a bit horrified! Good luck with the build, this will be a monster!

I have often thought a good way to have a lightweight Star Destroyer toy of size would be for a styrofoam core with 3D print detail “plates” that have teeth like some casters do:

Just push them into the foam.

I’m convinced there is a spring loaded meat tenderizer out there that could be made into a pulse-Orion.
