Correct! You have won this round, but for 5 bonus points can you name the team or pilot? Here's a bit more, detailing still very much in-flux, not sure what its meant to be, power generators, sensors, weapons dispensers should be somehow represented, for example the ship in game fires rearward missiles and dispenses packs of anti-gravity mines to thwart rival teams,
.... I wonder where the bit of detail texture Psygnosis used in the psx game was cropped from.

Those are solid resin wargaming pieces - its normal that the glass is a painted on effect for such models, a clear canopy for this\/ would be nice though. I'll probably print it as an open framework initially... still early days, see if you can guess what it is/from...

Love the modded tuktuk

After owning both types I'd advise you to get a resin printer, today.

Only real downside is the chemicals are no joke and should be treated as such.

Outrageous detail and I still haven't got the machine fully dialed in, get the machine, peel off the protective films, level the build plate, fill the tank with resin and you're ready to go, I've had 100% success so far.

Ah, knight, my old nitpicking nemesis! Considering my earlier prototypes from almost 20 years ago would cost literally thousands of $ to print (which fortunately was entirely clients concern!) using stereo lithography back in the day.... Having an SLA machine, incl materials and post processing eqpt, which costs less than a single print from 2 decades ago to do high quality resin prints at home is a game changer, what machines do you have?

Improved version of the tuk-tuk, but some goofball overloaded it!
