Starchaser,
I might be treading new ground I guess. Time to build.
DM,
Thank you for the links and advice. I do think this is a project I want to tackle for sure. I know it will constitute astronomical amounts of work and probably take large amounts of time no matter the process.
I've been talking to someone on a custom ship building group on FB that specializes on custom builds. He was wanting somewhere around $275 for a 3d custom digital file build, then around $200-300 for a printed copy of the AT-UT in physical format using resin/filament printing.
If that gets too expensive, I could also try to make paper templates and fabricate this beast using polystyrene sheets, tubes, etc.
Evergreen modeling makes all kinds of polystyrene materials that could be used to fabricate this. Biggest issue would be the measurements and forming templates to trace onto the materials.
Tamer,
I think that will be the goal going forward. I just have to figure out the details...
