Blastboat sizw

By 414taylor, in X-Wing

Been to shape ways to buy a blastboat but the different printers have different sizes and they all say their blastboat is 1/270. What is the most accurate size?

Going by the wiki dimensions and the advertised length from the different marts:

Mel's Miniatures is short by 2/10ths of a mm (9.23 cm)

Kaliik Shipyards is right at the 9.25 cm for 1/270 though I have no data for the width/height of the rotating section from the wiki

Official Galaxia Miniatures is 4/10ths of a mm over (9.29 cm)

Ferlin Pomfrett could be correct but they have the rotating section printed separated from the main hull so I'm not sure.

Honestly with any of these 4 they're close enough for X-Wing since we're looking at size differences of less than a hair's breadth, so I suggest picking the one that you like the look of the most and not worrying too much that it is what amounts to a few centimeters off if scaled up.

Edit: Found the rotating section dimensions (Blipped over it first read on the wiki. :) ) . Mel's and Kaliik are closest there. :)

If you really want a Shapeways Blastboat, I'd go Gosric.

It's in 2 pieces, so you can rotate the wings

Might be fun homebrewing rules that have different configurations.

Thx all,happy new year.
