Jupiter Ascending Wraith fighter

[frostrubin]

Not the best movie from the Wachowski siblings but I love the look and design of the vehicles. So I start to model the fighter. Will be a 3d printed model at 1/72 scale.
Main shape is done, so I detailing at the moment.

Looking good! Just curious, what's your strategy for connecting all of the floating bits once the model is printed?

 

[frostrubin]

Have some ideas...but not tested or proofed yet.

Visually, this movie was a feast…but the look said “Time Lord” to me.

 

[frostrubin]

Main hull done. Only the panels on wings are missing.

 

[frostrubin]

All parts are finished now.


The main body is hollowed out and cut in two


I'll start printing tomorrow.

 

[frostrubin]

All parts printed...

 

[frostrubin]

Basic color is done.



Also connected the first parts with thin metal rods. I'll paint them black later.

 

[frostrubin]

I've finished the base and the "logo badges" (not glued yet)



And the small wings are attached.

It has been a while since I last watched Jupiter Ascending. It didn't quite reach a "Mainstream" status, but all in all, a nice plot and good acting. I do remember liking the ship designs, especially the floating-pieces like you are doing here. Good choice using the thin metal rods, they are barely noticeable and really make the whole thing come together... well that is, come together while actually NOT coming together.

Cannot wait to see more.

 

[frostrubin]

Finished!

Thanks. Maybe I build one of the bigger ships or the battle suit from the movie...

Pretty cool, but I have to wonder if the design is 'For the seafood lover in you'.
