Thankee kindly. There is so much reference to unpack - a lot of it resides in my cranium - I hope I am providing enough of an introduction. Folks, I need your assistance either sourcing the 1/24 pilot or equivalent for the cockpit. Here are a few more Floki images!

Wow... And wow. I am on this show too. I am really interested how parts will fit while they are printed in different processes.

Marius, welcome aboard! I’m curious as well how to best adhere everything together once printed.

Tolerances between resin and filament appear to be fair, although Clint is certainly much more versed in a direct reply. I believe resin was chosen specifically for the level of detail. My other concern is sanding the command ball. I have very little experience with sanding a 3D printed piece whose outer shape must remain round.
