Fireball XL5

 As a kid I loved watching Fireball XL5. This is my (work in progress) model. 


I based the design on these plans. From these I estimate the 'actual' length to be 125m. Scaled at 1:880 this makes the model 14cm long. Obviously being a 3D model I can resize it to other scales. I'm selling it for £16 + P&P (physical) and the stl for $7.99 at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/fireball-spacecraft/

Actual printout


The holes are the vent holes to let the resin out (the print is hollow)



I'm also working on the 'sledge' that launches it.
My intention is to produce the 'sledge' in parts so a buyer can buy however many parts they want. 
  • The cradle, 
  • 12cm long (approx) lengths of the rail with stands
  • The back stop
  • The front end
