Description
A 3D-printed recreation of the ship that Alph, Brittany and Charlie used in their explorations of the Pikmin homeworld.
The antenna is designed to be used with a length of 1mm-thick metal rod. The 50% versions of the antenna components are scaled so that a rod of the same diameter will fit them if you want to print the entire thing at 50% scale.
The radar dish's angle can be adjusted, the antenna can be retracted by removing the metal rod, the hull and lower flaps can rotate, the windows can be removed, the legs can be fully articulated, and the interior can include a diorama.
