Python Class Cruiser Model Kit from Shapeways

Based on the ship drawn in the original Elite Manual and modelled by me for Oolite.

This turned out pretty good. Five pieces: the forward cone, the rear block, the engine scoop, engine outlet, and base stand. Final dimensions: 10cm long x 5.5cm high (on stand, 4cm off the stand) x 3.6cm wide.

Once undercoated, I'll paint on the shark mouth!

Cute... one could almost call it kitsch! :lol:

Is it going to be sold on the site shop?
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

I really like that one. 8)
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

For the moment, only on Shapeways. But the good news is that the price drops from October 1 as Shapeways is revising its price scheme.

Hey, that looks great! Especially since that is my first upgrade. I like the Cobra Mk III too (",)
