Hey, gang!
I am slowly preparing to start modelling Ornithopter from Dune 2021. Yes, there are some models on the market already, but they all of crappy quality and pretty pricy for the quality they are.
So far, collected all the good shots from the movie including pics I could find from the set. Did you know there were 3 distinct ornithopters? (I kinda didn't pay attention while watching it first time) There is one with 8 wings (Atreides'), with 6 (harkonnen) and 4 (with yellow-ish windows).
I've compiled PureRef board:
And did some scale/measurement:
My estimation is - full length (nose to end of fuselage) is 23.2m, wingspan (from the fuselage center) is 26.4m, Height is around 4.7m
I am going to be modelling in 72:1 scale with the goal of 3D printing the physical model.
Wish me luck. And make your bets on how far I will go before switching to a different project, ha ha )
