This is amazing. I've been looking for something like this for years, but never been able to find anything to buy.
Unfortunately for me this is way beyond my skills and although I'd love to have a go I wouldn't known where to start when it comes to printing my own parts let alone painting them.
Been listening to the album for over 20 years (not literally of course) after my Dad got me into it.
Great work!

Amazing work, well done.
Excellent model!
My mother owned the record set, and I'd play it constantly as a kid; the Thunder Child track always made me have a quiet little weep. The lyrics' imagery of "man's last hope of victory" being destroyed and the sacrifice of the crew still gets me.

Beautiful! I made mine around the same 3D model, but made the legs out of various diameters of brass and aluminium modelling tube, to avoid that bowing that comes with 3D printing materials. I still printed the joints and feet, but anything that needed to be straight was tube or wire. I had to add my own signature 'sound and light' that I add to all my props.
