I could release the layouts as is but I haven't written the instructions yet and I am going to tidy the layouts up a bit first. Shouldn't take too long to do.

Here we go folks.










A few things left to do, I am not going to be using the stand as I will be wall mounting the model, so I need to come up with something for that. I also need to come up with some instructions. That will be fun! Other than that the model is done.


Their is a few thing sI would do differently, perhaps a revisit in the future will be needed but for now I am going to work on getting the build layouts cleaned up the instructions sorted and then I'll get the whole thing uploaded and see what feedback I get.


Lol also thought I would quote the end of my very first post on this model


'Lol yeah doesn't look like much but for someone who until two days ago had never used blender I am quite happy with what will eventually become the front of The MCRN Donnager one day.
Fair warning folks this is going to be a long one.'


Boy I wasn't wrong about that one.

As a fellow designer, I applaud your decision to finish the instructions before releasing.

That's sizeable. How many pages of parts?

I can't believe you went from Blender to ender in just two days...
Amazing!

A lot. So far it's 6 pages of structure parts, 22 of texture or body parts, 4 for the stand and 1 of join strips.


However I haven't yet looked in to sorting the layouts to make the number of pages smaller.


I've built this model to more or less match the size of my 150% Roci build with PDCs. I am guessing their is no reason why the model size couldn't be reduced, you might run in to issues with doing the antennas at the front though.

amazing project, I look forward to doing your design justice in my hands. Not to hijack the thread and I can't remember if I posted this elsewhere. But as it is The Expanse related Attention Required! | Cloudflare . The complete interior of the Rocinante, can you imagine building the ship like the presentation?
