    This was something cool from within the pages of the IDW comics - an ARK monument or memorial statue!

    ark.JPG .
    Was kinda large in the original setting so had to scale it down a tad more to be desktoy-sized. Obviously it could be scaled up such that all your bots can look up to it in reverence but guess will have to leave that as extra credit homework for someone else who is keen. Also there are plans for more ships too .... :p

    Not exactly sure how the back should look but guess that's where the engines go!

    Also, there should technically be the logo and working on the plaque on the front of the base. But eh, after trying to free-hand it, will have to come around to bashing something up in photoshop for it in a while...

    The 3d printable model files have been released early for Patreons and will be openly released in a couple of days (just in time for the holidays!)- IDW Ark Monument | Funbie Studios on Patreon

    Have a very merry and festive season, y'all! =)

    I doubt anyone will be bothered as-is though

    Well, made a variant which should be a tad closer to the reference :p

    Sounds like it needs to be scaled up massively... :p

    That's amazing! Gawd, I want a whole fleet! I'm loving my Ender 3 and I've joined your Patreon page. I can't wait to see the other ships you have planned. I need an Armada to fight the Haslab Unicron once it's released, lol!

    Seems like epic ship battle/dioramas will be in the works then! Almost done with cleaning up of the Lost Light piece and will share shots of the in a bit!

    Likely have to make a new thread for that and other ships coming up so I don't jam up this thread whose title I can't edit :p
