Building the Daedalus Class BC-304

Bridger · Posted Fri 13 Mar, 2020 8:55 PM

I always wanted to create a 3D Model of one of Scifi Hero Ships that are out there and print them is a large scale, like the Enterprise-E, Galactica, White Star or the Daedalus. A big problem until now has been the cost of 3D-Printers that can print in the quality I want but that has changed now and I started a project to create a high quality model of the Daedalus Class from Stargate.

Unfortunately I am not a 3D Modeler so I hired chrisbibby over at CG-Trader who has already created some incredibly models for 3D Printing and I got outstanding help from Eaglesg without him this project would not be possible.

In the mean time, chrisbibby has left the project to focus on other projects and a new modeler Flaredphoenix is in.

Once the model is finished I will print it and you will be able to follow my progress and my setbacks in this thread, and with this you can take a look at the printer I am going to buy and the first work done on the model.

The planned dimension of the model will be:

Scale: 1/700

Length: 105,14cm = 41,39"
Width: 53,14cm = 20,92"
Hight: 22cm = 8,66"

92cm? holy cow that's amazing! That's gonna take (does quick calculation) a metric tonne of spray paint!

Maybe not that much, but still a lot.

That's awesome Bridger, I love SG1 & Atlantis and am re-watching it now .

David Hewlett (Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay) has his own YouTube channel, I'm subbed to it and he actually interacts with his fan base =D

Thanks, I hope she will turn out epic and she will be the test bed for a lot of models to come.

Indeed

That's awesome. The Daedalus battlecruisers are cool, especially after the upgrades from the Asgard are given to the SGC

You can mention me mate, it's no secret that I got some Stargate studio models and I'm really happy to be able to help you

They are, some of them can be found here they have been used in quite a few Hollywood productions.

I also found a interesting tool that should become very helpful when it's time to paint her.

I want a 3D Printer soo badly as I'd love to be able to make 3D Models of ships!
