Battlefleet Gothic Scale Thunderhawk Ordinance Proxy

thingiverse

A Thunderhawk Ordinance proxy for Battlefleet Gothic. I had a game buddy ask for some prints and I couldn't find a suitable model. As seen in the second picture, the scale is based on the Imperial Attack Craft Models by Mkhand_Industries (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2626812). The shape is heavily borrowed from a similar model found online. While I very much like Mkhand's models and have printed several for my Imperial fleet, I've found that their wings are quite delicate on my filament printer, so the Thunderhawk wings are all slightly chunkier (minimum 0.5mm). The design has been refined using netfabb. Test prints were successful but they're very small as seen in the last picture. The small ones are what the file produces and the big one is a 250% scale print to test that the details are there and printing correctly. Regarding the other picture, it's not finished yet; paint has been added just to add some color. The tiny prints do look okay once they're on stands and there's quite a bit of tricky support cleanup. Enjoy! Note: For my marine fleet I've printed these at 133% to get more detail and less blobbiness. These are the yellowish ones, and for sticking them to the bases I just use some chopped filament; it was easier than printing the bases with stands as they were coming out horrible.
