Airship [Erendin General Standard]

🌍Background Story:
Haosilicium, a grayish-blue translucent crystal that produces an anti-gravity effect when heated. Large aircraft built based on the 'heat-buoyancy' exchange mechanism of Haosilicium material science are known as 'airships'. Early airships were mostly simple assemblages of cloth sails, wood, and furnaces. It was not until a massive land collision occurred in the Barren Lands, leading to severe environmental deterioration and a large-scale need for population migration, that Erendin, a marine engineer and esteemed aviation sage (later canonized), designed and established a construction standard mandating the use of modular cabin structures, known as the 'Erendin Standard'. In the early stages of migration to the Dulu Lands, people would dismantle airships upon reaching their destination sky islands, using the cabins as homes. This practice greatly accelerated the population transfer process. During the development in the Dulu Lands, Erendin Standard airships became popular due to their emphasis on cabin configuration rather than overall shape, and their low maintenance and redesign costs. Besides the 'generational ship owners' who replaced cabins repeatedly while keeping the same ship, and 'extreme refitters', a number of cabin manufacturers specializing in cabin and functional module design emerged. These airships have now become the standard vessels for the Sky Fleet and the industrial foundation of the Mikos Confederacy.

⚙️[Erendin General Standard] Assembly Manual:
1.Specifications:
- Scale: 1/400. The largest model in the preview image is 12 cm long, and a single cabin is 3.3 cm long.
- Structure:
 - Core Modules: Cabins in 2x2 and 2x4 specifications (distinguished as structural and bottom cabins)
 - Expansion Components: Includes eight types of side attachments in 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, and 1x4 specifications, and their variants.
 - Bow and Deck: Two types of 2x1 bows, two types of front and rear deck parts.
 - Propulsion System: Two types: side-mounted propeller thrusters and rear-mounted propeller thrusters.
 - Display Stand: Three heights (short/medium/tall) stands.

2.Printing Essentials:
- Nozzle diameter below 0.4, layer height 0.16 (model can be scaled up as needed)
- All printing materials are PLA; other materials like PETG/TPU have not been tested
- First plate contains hull structural parts, side attachments, and bow. Second plate contains decks, wings, cargo containers, and propellers. Third plate contains stands.

3.Assembly Instructions:
- This model is not a specific ship assembly kit, but a set of modular parts that can form an airship. Therefore, the airships in the display images are merely "demonstrations of assembly possibilities". In actual use, you can assemble them into any shape according to your own ideas (refer to brick assembly).
- During assembly, parts may be reused or mirrored. I have only uploaded the necessary parts (the print profile includes some mirrored parts). Therefore, when assembling, you will need to print optional parts or increase/decrease the number of parts as needed.

Although it's an airship (sky-punk airship) rather than a spaceship (space opera), its design philosophy largely references the International Space Station's assembly method. For customization and playability, modularity truly excels. Regarding color selection, you don't have to strictly follow the light gray-silver配色 of the preview images, as that would be too boring. However, considering the model's tone, I suggest choosing some low-saturation colors, such as wood tones, copper, etc. Finally, I look forward to seeing your prints.
