Star Trek Bajoran Solar Sailor

Loved the ship since I saw it on DS9 decades ago…

So finally I start building it. It will be 3d printed model with other media like metal tubes and foil for the sails.
Finished 3D Model. Have to consider which size/scale I want for the physical model, so I can cut the model into print parts. Also which of the mast parts I'll make out of rods and tubes…

Fantastic job. You’ve made a physical representation of a CG object flawlessly.

The right "hand" before getting the sails on.
