Steelhaven from Transformers Animated

cults3d

Here's the Steelhaven from Transformers Animated swooping in to land on the Iconic Ship Series shelf! Sporting many key details which gives it that iconic Animated look, this should be a fun one to print and put together. Painting in all the parts of it can be tricky though :P And since the top turret was best designed as a separate piece, it swivels! Coming over to the rearward side of the ship, the Steelhaven sports a pair massive turbines - all the better to zip through space with! And of course, where there are engines, there will need to be 5mm ports to add on an appropriate blooshy effect part! Speaking of the turbines, this was one part which we had to redo (gah!) after printing out for the first time as it turned out it was near impossible to paint the areas around and under them. Hence they now come as separately slottable bits. Much easier to deal with! As a comparison, here's the Steelhaven alongside the Animated Ark (https://www.patreon.com/posts/66580359) from earlier - the perfect companions on any Animated series collection shelf! === Assembly === The attached diagram show how all the parts for this build fit together. As usual, the pegs which align the parts can either be printed using the provided STLs or cut to length from existing plastic rods. Additionally, on the under side of the Steelhaven, there are two parts of 3mm holes meant for connecting to the stand. The more middle one gives a more centralized look but can be a little off-balance so the more backwards one is also provided as an option for better balance. === As always, hope y'all have fun 3d printing and adding this to your own Iconic Ships collections! =) === This model is not to be uploaded or sold in any form and is intended for personal use only.
