Early Christmas present for the forum: XQ-6 Platform kit!

By Millennium Falsehood, in X-Wing

Since the station model is about 1km in diameter, I don't think it's armada scale.

I should have said apparent scale or quite simply 'size'.

The model is a good size for use in Armada as a resupply station and its size allows it to equally serve as a Sensor Node in X-Wing. Both looks and size are good.

Ah, I getcha.

This is wrong. Here we are with a lovely gift and we are burying it with Rogue One talk. Well I for one will not stand for this!

BUMP :P

This.....is super cool! I love building stuff for the game. I guess it comes from my Warhammer background and always making something. I'm very impressed! I built a space station out of a large plastic cup, 2 plastic plates, and a yogurt container. I think I might have to "borrow" some of these prints and bits to flesh mine out some more. That is...even if I do build out your station.

So...I have some questions and requests. I did look through the instructions, but I wasn't sure on one part. Can you take it apart? Or is it all glued in together? If you can take it apart, can you take a picture or two of it in pieces? It almost looked like the arms can slide into the middle section. I wasn't sure.

I'm also wondering if it might be OK to not use a stand and have it sit on the table. It might be easier if I'm trying to put ships on top of the station and all that. It would be easier to measure distances and such.

Have you tried other material? MDF board will be pretty solid and it will probably hold together better. I've sometimes used cardstock. Well...I buy cheap FOR RENT signs from Walmart that are thick plastic and work well enough. I don't know if it would be as solid as what you have. I just don't have all the tools you do.

Overall, I love it! I'm going to mention it on my podcast this week!

Here's my space station that is looking a little sad when compared to yours!

Lol, I really appreciate that. :D I've got another couple of models that I'm going to release soonish. I just need to get some cash to get more ink. I'd have the model printed at Copymax or something, but I prefer inkjet for paper models since it's matte when dry and laser prints tend to fracture and crack when bent. And I don't want to release these models without making another build log so you guys can follow along.
