S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier

thingiverse

I created a Helicarrier model for myself since none were available online, especially not one suitable for 3D printing. My version is likely about 80% accurate and features relatively low poly count, but it looks good as a small model despite my subpar paint job. I might refine it over time. The scale of the Helicarrier is unknown, so I made mine approximately 12 inches long for a decent-sized model. You can try scaling down to about half its current size and it should still look okay, although some details like engines and control towers may get lost. At larger sizes, the lack of fine detail will become apparent. For an even less accurate version of the Helicarrier that flies, check out this link. This more accurate model isn't designed to accommodate quadrotor parts, but it does share a cutout in its hull with that version. I uploaded turbines and turbine covers on 10/22/2017, somehow missing them until then.
