Stand for ScaleRockets' Falcon 1 model

thingiverse

I designed this stand for my Falcon 1 in Blender because I wanted a sturdy base for the model I printed and detailed. I deliberately made it simple yet distinctive. You can find the ScaleRockets' Falcon 1 model, which this stand is intended to support, here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3214407. It's one of my favorites. The stand is scaled to fit the stock size Falcon 1 model at a 1:144 ratio. This should work seamlessly right out of the box, but you may need to do some sanding to get it just right. I was able to use it perfectly on the first try, although the amount of sanding and painting will depend on your desired level of finish. To use it correctly, place the model in the stand so that the four arms fit snugly into the empty areas between the truss supports of the engine. Take a look at the photos for a clearer understanding. My pictures show the stand unpainted, but I may decide to add some color later on. This is my first upload to Thingiverse, and I hope you find it helpful!
