Questions

Is this a physical model or a digital file?
This listing is for a physical 3D-printed Orion frigate model, fully assembled and shipped from Sydney. No STL or digital file is included.

How big is it exactly?
60 cm / 23.5 inches long. Allow about 65 cm of clear space.

Does it arrive assembled?
Yes, fully assembled and colour-printed.

Is it coloured?
Yes. The colour is printed into the model using multi-colour 3D printing — each colour is laid down in place as it prints, not painted on afterwards, so it cannot chip or flake.

Can I get it as a kit?
This one is supplied assembled. Ask if you would prefer a kit.

Will layer lines show?
Fine lines are visible up close. At display distance they disappear.

How it's made

Printed in multi-colour PLA at a fine layer height, then hand-assembled and sanded back where needed. The colours are printed into the material rather than painted on, so hull striping and panel markings cannot chip or flake. Made and finished in Sydney, Australia.

An honest note: this is FDM printing. Fine layer lines are visible up close — that is how the process works, not a defect. At normal display distance they disappear.
