Well you didn’t think it was going to be a normal dropship did you? I thought about normal and that seemed too easy so back to Thingiverse I went for the backbone of my new plan..
Yes that’s right I wanted it airborne!
but how?
well after much deliberation and looking at things from very strange angles I formulated a plan. I took the stl file for a rocket launching enlarged it and set it to print. It took a while and had to be watched as I didn’t want the attached rocket. I manually stopped the print as I only wanted the smoke plume bottom.
this I mounted onto a piece of hardboard with gorilla glue but it doesn’t really truly represent my vision at this point so I’ve another step yet to do apart from painting. The next step will be to glue clumping foliage as a layer over the contours of the 3d printed smoke plume to make it more realistic and less like Minecraft then once I’m happy with the paint effects the dropship can have its undercarriage fitted and i essentially have two models. One which is the landing/flying model the other being the grounded/parked dropship. I’ve embedded a strong metal spike into the smoke plume with a corresponding hole in the bottom of the dropship hidden inside a jet nozzle.
