I don't care if it won't fit in my garage, I want one!
Good work on it by the way.

Ooh nice!

I've been very tempted by those too, haven't quite managed to justify the £60 price tag but that shakes my resolve a bit.

It looks like a really clean print, was there much cleanup needed?

Cheers, all  8)

Minimal clean up - although that may have been done before it came to me. There are a lot of visible striations but, for once, I think they add to it's charm; getting rid of those would be a very long and labour intensive job and, realistically,  not worth it for a gaming piece.

It goes together beautifully with no visible gaps or filling required  -  I painted it  as individual pieces and clicked it together once they were finished. And it is still sturdy enough with the roof sections left unattached  8)

The design work on all the DR kits is really solid and lovely and modular.

I can just about live with the striations, and I am very picky, but again the design work deals with that quite cleverly.

I just wish he was still doing the 2nd dynasty stuff too.  Picked up my last shuttle there and am thinking about a second.

It's made from the vehicle kit:
