Its also why its not easy to just print it bigger/smaller. The detail isn't "baked in" either, every panel line and rivet is added in at an appropriate size that makes sense for that model at that scale (but I'll come back to accentuating in a mo). I feel your pain in terms of the amount of work required to fix those files, we do that too. We use the same files that you would get from the holoviewer model and we have to extract them ourselves - no-one at CIG "gives" them to us. We love getting feedback and its even more important from people who aren't our customers so please fire away.Īnd I wish we did get better files. We include interchangeable parts for wings/weapons/landing gear, magnets, decals. I have to chop away some large chunks of the interior to make the landing bay lights work, and of course I had to drill out everything for the engine lights.Excuse the joint message and being so late to the party but I'd love to know what you think we could to make our kit models less boring. Doing this again, I would have specified that I wanted the model to be printed in smaller sub-assemblies, but I made it work. I don't have many build photos because there weren't many parts. I asked for them all to be synced and they did a great job. The lighting on the base is four flashing red LEDs I bought from Evans Designs. I used a trick I saw from Boyd at TrekWorks to use brass connectors on the landing pad feet and corresponding ones on the base for positive and negative leads so the model can be removed from the base. I used the services of Jediguy on this forum to design and print the kit in resin, which I then assembled, lit, and painted. I don't play video games but my son is a huge fan of the game Star Citizen, and his favorite ship in the game is the Mercury Star Runner, so I decided as a learning project to get one designed and printed for him (there are no commercially available kits).
