Thunderstrike Warthog Fighter

Unleash the fury of the grimdark future with this highly detailed miniature model of the Thunderstrike Fighter, a formidable aircraft designed for close air support and air superiority missions. Perfectly capturing the gritty, industrial aesthetic of a distant war-torn galaxy, this model is a must-have for miniature painters, wargaming enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add a powerful presence to their collection.

Printing is simple and requires little support, as you can see from the photos.

Only one print plate

Features:

• Grimdark Aesthetic: Captures the weathered, armored, and battle-hardened look of a machine built for brutal warfare.
• Modular Construction: Designed for ease of printing and assembly, with pre-cut parts. Minimum glue required.
• Added three landing gears for better adhesion to the base you choose for the model.
• Ideal for Customization: A perfect canvas for weathering, freehand painting, and adding personal touches to create a unique piece of miniature art.

The default dimensions are for a “world” with approximately 32mm bases:

Length: 165mm
Wingspan: 134mm
Height: 57mm
You can obviously scale the model as you like.
I'm also including a base among the profiles, for anyone who might need it.

Assembly Instructions:

1. Print Parts: Print all the pre-cut parts.
2. Support Removal: Carefully remove all support structures from the printed parts. Sand down (or just use a light flick of a lighter) any rough edges if necessary.
3. Dry Fit: Test fit all the pieces before applying glue. Ensure the pegs align correctly and the parts sit flush.
4. Apply Glue: Apply a small amount of plastic glue (or super glue) to the connecting surfaces. Press the parts firmly together.
5. Let Dry: Allow the glue to cure completely before handling.

The assembly holes are only there to hold the piece in place for gluing; they're not intended for assembling the model. They're just a guide to positioning it; you'll need a little glue! Since they're just a pivot, the piece will rotate, but they help keep the piece centered for gluing.
And because of the supports, you may find the holes half-closed. I've included a short video on how to clean them; you'll need sharp pliers to remove the support.

Perfect for:

• Collecting: A beautiful and imposing model for any science fiction fan's shelf.
• Miniature Painting: A challenging and rewarding project for painters of all skill levels.
• Diorama Building: Create epic scenes of sci-fi aerial combat or ground battles.

The basic design was generated and prepared with the help of artificial intelligence, and then finished by hand in ZBrush and Blender. This process allowed to deduplicate and clean up the geometries, optimize the proportions, and remove any major errors from the generated model in order to achieve a result that was as clean and suitable for printing as possible.
This model is inspired by classic dark fantasy sci-fi universes.
