Elite Dangerous Ship models toys (1:64-scale or bigger)

[shunulu]

Hi Frontiers,

may you consider to produce/merchandise Elite ships toys. I love my Python and its shape. I wanna so much to have its replica. Beside key ring or pin badge, i prefer to have my own Python that i can hold and squeeze it

Say big Hi from İstanbul to Mr. Braben..

You realize that 1:64 would have the Anaconda still be about half a meter long, right?

I thought via cars, but you actually right No of course, i don't want that big At least i can carry

Yes! This.

Although you'd need models at different scales of course.

Are the original 3D models available for 3D printing?

There was mention of models in one of the early newsletters

I'm sure we'll see this sort of thing on the merch store eventually. More money for them. They probably just concentrated on things like t-shirts, mugs, and keychains, as well as in-game stuff, because that's generally easier to produce. Printing something on a mug or t-shirt is easy because there are lots of manufacturers that are set-up for that. Creating an actual model of something unique requires more retooling.

For now, we have this.

Not true 1:64 scale is huge. A cobra in that scale would be 625mm wide!

As a semi pro model builder I would love to see kits available for these ships.
