Trade Federation Advanced Bomber
The original file was a single piece - I cut it into 2 halves to fit on my printer. Th eyes were open for lighting but I filled them with clear resin, tinted red, sanded and polished
The original file also had a mounting hole, for which I made a plug with Aves epoxy putty
The inside of the engine grills was covered in a clear plastic sheet, which was later painted on the inside with clear blue followed by silver
The two halves were glued together
The whole ship, with some filling around the seam and further polishing of the eyes
Masking completed on the eyes
After a couple of coats of primer with some further sanding and filling in between

Album info
This is a 3D printed model of the Trade Federation Advanced Droid Bomber, as seen in the Star Wares: Episode 1: Battle for Naboo video game. The model is printed from a file from Zarkus Model Kits and available on Thingiverse. The original files are scaled at 1/144 but I upscaled them to 1/72 - I only scaled them up by 172.5% however as at 200% it just looked too big compared to other 1/72 models.
