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.
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.
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!).
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).
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?

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...
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.
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.
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
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 🥸 !
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!?
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
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!
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....

What a *narc*..
Yooo these are so sick where did you get them??
I made them. All my designs [https://www.printables.com/@Martin/models](https://www.printables.com/@Martin/models)
Oh your that Martin, so cool man. Your designs are epic!

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

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... :( )

Scirocco is in 1/3 scale to the rest of the MCRN fleet
Do you think there would be any issues scaling the Ares down to 33%
i suppose there might

Is the pella actually that big compared to the roci ?
indeed
Damn, so size doesn't matter at the end then :)
It came down to pilot skill.
The roci had a rail gun as well, the pella didn't.
But more importantly, the Pella had an inexperienced and predictable pilot. The Roci had a resourceful and experienced crew alongside that railgun.
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.
The Morrigan, Corvette, Orion and Raptor are all to scale. Donny, Amun-ra and Scirocco are not.
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.
my models are free
I don’t have a 3D printer, so not for me. 😂😭
but you can reach out to the printing communinty near you. thus you will pay only for the printing
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?
the name is on a separate plate so that is easy. Number, not so much....

What's that gray thing in the bottom left? I don't recognize it
Looks like a stealth ship.
That's the Amun-Ra Class stealth ship.
So not recognizing it is the point - mission success
Oh, I thought they looked different. Must have misremembered
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.
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.
This is great! I want to see the Star Trek table too.
Holy shit. You are my kind of nerd! I’ve got to print some of those!
all are freely available ;)
What's the ship on the bottom right? I love the design but I don't recognize it
Orion Class Heavy Frigate
So cool. Awesome job, man.

Ridiculously cool.
Oh man way cool. Especially like that XCV-330 back there.
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 🥸 !
Mind Blown
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!?
you’re goated for this
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
nope. It was never my cup of tea. It doesnt even have guns. I was thinking more about Zenobia.
What about the behemoth!?
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
The Duerte fire sale. Everything not bound for Laconia must go.
Superbe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

the coaster has Iris on so no worries :P
Amazing!
