Fusée lunaire, lunar rocket, Objectif Lune, Destination Moon, 400mm size rocket

Nice to publish again! For fans and enthusiasts alike, this is a model inspired by the iconic Tintin Destination Moon rocket. The design was created using Solidworks software based on the original drawings found in the classic Tintin comic book series. I aimed to replicate the original drawing as closely as possible without creating a copy or scan. This 400mm high model is available, along with alternative designs for 200mm and 800mm models. To minimize material usage, the rocket's interior is empty. The model features an "engine" at the bottom, which I envision as a miniature rocket engine. Also included is an antenna; you'll need to attach a 1.5mm metal or wooden rod, which I created using a drill bit. Next, print the red parts, followed by the white panels, ensuring they fit perfectly onto the main body before gluing them in place. You can also add or omit the engine and antenna as desired. Enjoy! Remember that the original design was crafted by Monsieur Hergé, Tintin's creator, so I hope his family will accept this inspired interpretation. For those unfamiliar with Mr. Hergé and Tintin, I recommend exploring their beloved comic book series. If you prefer larger models, you can find 200mm and 800mm versions; simply scale up the 800mm design for an even bigger rocket. All of these rockets were printed using my CR10 stock, Arianeplast PLAf or red, grossiste3D Snow White for the white parts, with 0.2mm layers and 20% infill. You can increase the infill density to add more weight to the bottom area.
