I've taken on this commission to 3D print the Rocinante from "The Expanse". The files and information can be found HERE  The files are separated into different categories: Segment 1, Segment 2, Segment 3, Air Bridge, and PDC. This will be 3D printed using two methods, FDM (For the larger parts) and Resin (For the more intricate parts to preserve detail) I'll update the thread as the build progresses. |

Joe,
I take that back. Your board pages operate differently than what's normally expected. I click once on image and it opens full screen. Forums are funny places.
Sounds you're really putting thought in what to construct certain parts out of. ("Are you making it childproof?" LOL!) It looks well enough. All that seems to be the landing gear and its frame work.
xx,
FM

Joe, I see from within the photos, ..the "V" support struts I remarked about. Was just thinking,..are their "attachment points" for the other additional 4 around the lower engine block? Even if there are not, ..would you make the additional 4 "V" struts and I'll attach them on. I have hobby tools. xx, FM p.s. ...There are 8 "V" struts as seen in a YouTube vid of the shows cg model performing the landing cycle. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVBO2idotik&list=LL&index=4As for the files' creator... being a fan he's omitted obvious detail. The Kickstarter Ideal model is loaded with minute surface details that I couldn't expect he'd replicate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtdlu8RllOw&list=LL&index=2&t=2s |

I'm going to do a test assembly of segment 3 later tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've watched the first few episodes a while back, but never got into the series fully. I may have to go back and have another go at it. I'll check out the "Spacedock" when I get some time  |

Joe,
The "Spacedock" link really was just about the "Razorback/ Screaming Firehawk" from The Expanse.
