Flash Gordon War Rocket Ajax

thingiverse

This is my version of the War Rocket Ajax from the 80's classic Flash Gordon movie! She measures approximately 500mm in length and features a hollow design, making her perfect for lighting up. Several construction options are available depending on your printer size. A 200mm printer will suffice, but larger models can be built using parts suitable for 400mm printers as well. The main body is the most complex part, with several printing variations to choose from. Additional option parts include LED mounts integrated into the chin section, ideal for those who plan to illuminate their model. For detailed instructions and more information, please visit: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/Ajax/WarRocketAjaxInstructions.pdf Alternatively, you can download separate instruction images here. Some users prefer flipping through these images in a photo viewer to visualize part placement. War Rocket Ajax can be printed entirely on an FDM printer; however, specific parts may benefit from resin printing, such as the wings' guns or the hemispherical turret. The wings and guns feature channels designed for fibre optic installation if desired. To enhance realism, you'll need a 5mm red LED for the rear of the tail fin, as well as a 3mm red LED for the front. LEDs will provide the best results in these rounded areas. Wiring channels are available throughout various parts for those planning to illuminate their model. A couple of small styrene or brass rods are required for some of the guns. Before starting your project, be sure to read the instruction PDF carefully and don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any issues – I'll do my best to assist you.
