Spaceship for High Frontier boardgame (or anything else you fancy).
It's a solar sail propelled ship (with the back vaguely inspired from an Ariane launcher).
Dimensions are 50mm long, 30mm high & wide (1.97" l, 1.18" h&w)
It has a 3mm diameter (0.12") hole under to fit on a flight stand (Litko, stuff4games, Hawk Wargames, or equivalent).
Check the High Frontier and Fleet Commander sections of my shop for more S-F stuff.
The model comes unpainted. It has a single colour.
If you want to paint it, the process is almost identical to any regular plastic miniature. Some recommendations:
- With White Plastic : Wash the model, to remove any remaining nylon powder. Use soapy water, rub with toothbrush, rinse, let dry. Spray prime (you can apply more primer coats than usual, though), paint, spray varnish.
- With Fine Detail Plastic only : Wash the model, to remove any remaining wax. Approx. 3 minutes in acetone, or approx. 30 minutes in denaturated alcohol, or approx. 30 minutes in Simple Green. Rub gently with a toothbrush, rinse with water, let dry. Spray prime, paint, spray varnish.
Due to manufacturing tolerances, the 3mm hole might need some rework to fit nicely on the flight stand's peg.
The flight stand is not included, of course.
