Will do.

Absolutely amazing level of detail. Wow

I'd like the dimensions of the external tanks if anyone has those. I'd like to 3D/print some for my 1/32 Cheers Sorry to hitch a ride Dekon

Ejectable? Didn't know that

Thanks Ron. Appreciate that kind words. All engines running

Would love a Bean on my wall.

It is Ignacio Bernacer Alpera page Silly me how could I forget this great creator of sculptors

This is an awesome diorama Well done Did you do the cosmonaut or is it a Max one>?

I'm humbled Pete. Thanks for the nice words. On to the J2?

It's a great tool if you keep in mind it's limitations when modeling. This all came about when I saw Michael Key's and Oli Braun's models. I decided to dive into 3D modeling. All self taught with some Youtube help

I've been doing these drawings and adding detail for 12 months. Sure it's missing pipe work but otherwise I am more than happy with how they have turned out. You can see inside bell details have changed between 3 iterations. These are size wise to scale height and dia. The support requires some modding to fill the holes and make room for the intake shroud and the actuator arms need adding. the center engine had a minor print issue which I filled.

Thanks Manfred. Good enough for my Dragon. Just need the 5th printed

RIP Michael Collins These men were true trail blazers of the last century. They certainly don't make men like that anymore

Just another short sighted money grab by Dragon it sounds

Obviously the chopper got there before they opened the hatch ;) I have tried find printable 3d models at various sites and without paying $$$$ there's not a lot out there

This would be awesome in resin. I have not done any printing in a while and the new Photon Mono has a print area big enough to handle stage 2 I would think. At least in sections.

.175mm top of shade .25 around the bottom Only done as an example of what 3d resin printing can do. My skills are feeble compared to others

I never really thought before about it but the RCS thrusters must have been inside the bow wave to not get damaged?

Sorry just saw this Grid is 10mm

amazing stuff.

Awesome job. Awesome detail

Here's a quick bracket I did just off your photos

If I had Manfred's talent and patience I would not have gotten into 3D. I did it because I saw Oli Brauns SpaceX stuff but postage is horrendous to Australia so thought I'd give it a go. It's like playing a musical instrument. You can learn a lot on your own but you need a course to be a master or a lot of years on your own. The thing with 3D is it costs nothing to draw and edit and re draw to get the design right. Draw once and print thousands. Massive saving in time. I could draw the light shade and bracket in less than 10 minutes and have it printing in 20. How many
