Tolmekian Transport (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)

thingiverse

This is my rendition of the Tolmekian Transport from Hayao Miyazaki's movie, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Note: This model is incredibly large, with a wingspan already measuring 108cm. Most parts can be printed in FDM using current orientation settings, but I highly recommend resin printing for the small components. Larger sections may require the use of 30cm x 30cm printers to achieve optimal results. To strengthen the wing joints, additional metal tubing or rod may be necessary. It's also recommended that the tail fin struts be made from metal for added durability. Assembly instructions can be found within the enclosed PDF file. Further work such as detailing will likely be required to enhance the final outcome. Reference pictures are included in the ZIP file.
