I am nearing completion of the “Deep Impact” Messiah model. Basically I’ve gone through most of the parts and hollowed them out and chopped them up into “kit parts” for printing. Some yet to do… the photoetched brass bits – shown here in yellow – need some work. The nose landing gear leg is a simple placeholder just yet. And a few other details I’d like to add.

Not shown here are the “booster rockets” the vehicle was shown with.

While a lot of the design replaced practical aerospace functionality with “huh? wut?” it’ll still be an impressive display model when available in 1/200 scale from Fantastic Plastic.
