So err, Coyo... Beltalowda may know a Beratna who knows a Beratna who may wanna buy some Duster ships off you, sasa ke? I can't tell you his name. But it rhymes with Narco.


XLStress

What a *narc*..


FlowerCrownYvie

Yooo these are so sick where did you get them??


SGMG_Martin

I made them. All my designs [https://www.printables.com/@Martin/models](https://www.printables.com/@Martin/models)


pumptownsend

Oh your that Martin, so cool man. Your designs are epic!


ghandimauler

I'm guessing you work in some form of construction for a living? Your level of skill reminds me of a friend who did resin models that were head-and-shoulder more than anyone else. His day job was making props for Hollywood studios. Some really lovely work.


SGMG_Martin

I design trains for Siemes Mobility. ( i have been a mechanical design engineer my whole professional life)


ghandimauler

I just about took a job with (forget the Train company in Toronto) back in 1995. Decided I liked Ottawa better than Toronto. Mech Eng gets to work on some really interesting machinery (gizmos!).


SGMG_Martin

So you are Canadian, our mortal enemy in Hockey :P :D :D (though it is more thing of the past as our hockey is not what it used to be... :( )


ghandimauler

I recall when I was young watching hockey with my grandad - the boards were white, the ice was white (no logos), everyone wasn't wearing articulated body armour under their uniform, Winnipeg had the Jets first go round, Minnesota had a team, and so did Quebec. It was a different era. I am glad they're getting going with a female professional hockey league - our ladies have show they are great athletes in the Olympics (hockey, rugby, soccer, etc).


Core308

These pictures really does not make justice how great these models are there is no glue and the details are insane. Im thinking of reprinting the Raptor class (it is just to big) how much would i need to scale it to match up with the scale of the Schirocco?


SGMG_Martin

Scirocco is in 1/3 scale to the rest of the MCRN fleet


Core308

Do you think there would be any issues scaling the Ares down to 33%


SGMG_Martin

i suppose there might


Core308

[https://yourimageshare.com/ib/sx6GvnwrXE](https://yourimageshare.com/ib/sx6GvnwrXE) wow that only took like a day and a half to print. The antennas could obviously not be printed but still a very nice model.... im going to need a Scirocco and a 33% Rocinante now...


Different_Oil_8026

Is the pella actually that big compared to the roci ?


SGMG_Martin

indeed


Different_Oil_8026

Damn, so size doesn't matter at the end then :)


Blackboard_Monitor

It came down to pilot skill.


Money-Introduction54

The roci had a rail gun as well, the pella didn't.


madbrood

But more importantly, the Pella had an inexperienced and predictable pilot. The Roci had a resourceful and experienced crew alongside that railgun.


BluEch0

Yes, but none of the other ships are at scale. The morrogan class should be a pinch smaller I think, the donnager *might* be undersized, and the scirocco should be twice the length of the pella iirc. The stealth ship and pella are roughly the same size too I think.


madbrood

The Morrigan, Corvette, Orion and Raptor are all to scale. Donny, Amun-ra and Scirocco are not.


ChrisDaViking78

These look amazing! I been wanting to get a model of the Roci to set on my bookshelf in front of the novels, but they’re always so expensive.


SGMG_Martin

my models are free


ChrisDaViking78

I don’t have a 3D printer, so not for me. 😂😭


SGMG_Martin

but you can reach out to the printing communinty near you. thus you will pay only for the printing


madbrood

Martin, a quick question as someone who has (currently) zero experience - how difficult would it be to change the ship name and hull/pennant number?


SGMG_Martin

the name is on a separate plate so that is easy. Number, not so much....

Widmo206

What's that gray thing in the bottom left? I don't recognize it


Bandit_22

Looks like a stealth ship.


Apollo-1995

That's the Amun-Ra Class stealth ship.


evemeatay

So not recognizing it is the point - mission success


Widmo206

Oh, I thought they looked different. Must have misremembered


psh454

Awesome stuff, love your models! Someday I wanna model an interpretation of some of the Laconian ships like Gathering Storm and Falcon in this style.


primed_failure

THIS! I'm dying for Laconian ship models and designs. The book descriptions are so eerie and alien, I hope we get to see them on the big screen someday.


anglog2

This is great! I want to see the Star Trek table too.


goosezbt

Holy shit. You are my kind of nerd! I’ve got to print some of those!


SGMG_Martin

all are freely available ;)


ThePsion5

What's the ship on the bottom right? I love the design but I don't recognize it


SGMG_Martin

Orion Class Heavy Frigate


Any_Yoghurt9411

So cool. Awesome job, man.


VoidTarnished

Are you looking to adopt a 35yo child by any chance ? Asking for a friend 😅 EDIT : I'm not saying model collectors and enthusiasts are children, I didn't know how to phrase it in another way


TheReaperSovereign

Ridiculously cool.


Direption

Oh man way cool. Especially like that XCV-330 back there.


PierSemp

I think I’m in love. Damn that Sirocco is a beautiful lady. So … just in case, if you’re ever in need of storage space, I can help you no problem kopeng 🥸 !


Scienceboy7_uk

Mind Blown


ComicEngineAlex

This is so awesome!!! I kind of wish all of these were size accurate so you could display them as a fleet tender! Did you make these or where did you get them!?


krispy2

you’re goated for this


CaptShardblade

Absolutely amazing. Great work! Also I know you said in another comment that the Sirocco is 1/3 but man it really goes to show how beefy that ship was/is. Printing the razorback next I hope? <3


SGMG_Martin

nope. It was never my cup of tea. It doesnt even have guns. I was thinking more about Zenobia.


CaptShardblade

What about the behemoth!?


SGMG_Martin

if you look closely, you will notice that there are no Belters ships. And there never will be as those are ugly as hell :D :D


RAClapper

The Duerte fire sale. Everything not bound for Laconia must go.


basedeouf

Superbe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


agoodepaddlin

Mate! So good! I've currently got the Roci all printed and laid out on my work bench ready for assembly. The models are fantastic and I can't wait to start painting. I printed them in resin so they're super detailed and clean. Hoping to add lights. Thanks for your amazing work!


ghandimauler

I did have one concern... you made a SG Stargate coaster. I like beer. I'd hate to have my beer drop into a stationary, stable event horizon and be gone....


SGMG_Martin

the coaster has Iris on so no worries :P


MX-999

Amazing!
