    Description

    This item is a 3D printed version of the rocinante from the tv show, the expanse. It is not tv show accurate. This is a kit item, meaning that you will receive the parts straight off of the 3D printer, and will have to assemble and do all of the finishing touches yourself.
    DO NOT put PLA printed models in the sun or they will warp or even melt. Even if painted.
    --TERMS--
    3D printed props and prop kits are sold with a zero return, zero refund policy. 3d printed items, even finished items, will have small imperfections, period. Photos show you exactly what you're getting and please understand that while fairly durable, these props are meant as display items, and can be scratched or broken if mishandled. Any 3d works that require attribution by license are shipped with a small tag, naming the original designer.
    Kits may come in colors other than what is pictured. They are printed using whatever color filament we have on hand at the time.
    I recommend using 5 minute epoxy to glue the ship together, so you will have plenty of time to align the pieces. Then sand down the seams. The engine has 2 pegs and that will make it easier to align.
    Also I recommend using a 2 in 1 spray can filler and primer in very light coats and then wet sanding with fine grip sandpaper and repeat until you get the smooth finish you want.
    This model needed support to print in several areas and will be rough in those areas. I recommend light sanding with various grit paper and or filling with putty and then sand. The ship is printed hollow and some inside parts needed a lot of support but will not be seen once the ship is built.
    It comes with 4 main hull pieces, an engine nozzle that fits a 5mm led, (led not included), a base thats molded to fit the ship and has holes for wire locations (wires not included),  2 pegs for engine alignment, a translucent pla printed thrust fire that fits snug over the engine nozzle, and 6 turrets, they are labeled t for top, m for middle, and r for rear. It can be built with or without the turrets.
    This ship is 12 inches long (not including the thrust fire piece).
    It is printed hollow in PLA at 0.16mm layer height with 8% infill.
