If it's still an option for the design, it might work better to remove the vents from the main print and have them slot in ontop. The places where there's a join line overtop of them seems to be something that puts more attention on them there.

There’s loads of ways to tweak it to be better but the flat edges do print better which is why I think Ben designed it this way. It’s one of his first ships and there’s so much he’s learnt since this.

A comment on the openLOCK tiles. We have since this ship design started printing the floor tiles on their sides, since we have flat decks. This lets us remove the supports, and leaves the floors looking even better. These should be available in the 1.x release as a part of the campaign.

The painting and weathering were really successful in the end.👌🏻🤩 I don't play games like that, but I still wouldn't mind having a model like that.😍 One problem, however, would be that it's bigger than any (H0) diorama that I've ever built, so I don't have room for it.😅 As I said, the painting turned out really well, even with all the "mistakes" along the way. I'm currently trying my hand at a rusty old H0 Chevy pickup and can start all over again even though I'm not even halfway done yet.

The side mounted turrets on a wide ship look cool but I could only imagine difficulties in using them against snub fighters (gunship and larger, I can imagine less issues). The turrets pulling double duty as airlocks ... it looks interesting but from a technical standpoint I can only imagine problems. For this design I think a single Dorsal and ventral turret like the classic Millennium Falcon is the best option as it provides the most coverage with minimal resources.

I tend to use spray putty but I worry about it filling in the fine detail too.

Interesting! I'm not loving the turret on this design - mostly the size, I know Star Wars civilian ships are surprisingly well-armed for the setting but even so, that much gun seems implausible to me. But then official designs like *Outrider* have the same problem, so fair enough. Anyway, this inspired two thoughts: first, Adam Savage was recently wishing for project managment software integrated into slicer programs, and this project feels like a strong argument in favour of that! Also, while I've never used Montana paints (because I'm in Canada) other UK KZreadrs seem happy with them. From what you describe - the "gritty" effect and coming off when you touch it - my first guess is you sprayed it when it was a little too cold. That kind of pebbling can happen with spray bombs if the environment isn't warm enough. I also wonder how long you let it cure? Most spray paints I've encountered (and I used to sell them for a living) have a five day cure time over plastic. This is because the carrier medium will sometimes react with plastic in weird ways and it takes time for the reaction to end. In general, my advice to anyone spray painting plastic (and it is a good way to lay down a lot of colour quickly) is: first, test the paint on scrap to make sure it will actually cure; some paints on some plastics just never will. Then, make sure it's at least 12 degrees, 15 is better, both when you paint it and for at least a couple hours afterwards. Next, though it can be annoying to wait, give the paint the full cure time listed on the can, even if that's a full five days. Good luck on the kickstarter!

Thanks for the tips. It was UK summer so probably around 18-20 when I sprayed it and the Anthracite went on fine.
