I wanted to make another UFO, this time using a 2.25″ spherical vending machine bubble capsule, one of the newer versions, not the acorn-shaped ones.<\/p>\n

So I perused the internet for ideas and found one that I really really liked. I admit I took a lot of the design directly, and then added some stuff of my own, including re-using legs I created for Thunderbird 1’s display stand, with some alteration.<\/p>\n

Here’s the final result:<\/p>\n

Here are the constituent parts:<\/p>\n

The bubble is clearly not 3D printed – it’s the clear half of a vending machine spherical capsule.<\/p>\n

Assembly:<\/p>\n

Two halves of the saucer, along with the purple interior console and green seat:\"ufo-04-assembly-01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Front grill and green headlights:\"ufo-04-assembly-02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Green vertical thruster and legs:\"ufo-04-assembly-04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Five green tail lights:\"ufo-04-assembly-03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inspiration:<\/p>\n

I am often inspired by models, things I see in every day life, and in searching the web. I found this one and liked it so much I only made small modifications. Apologies to the original artist. I loved your work so much I had to use it.<\/p>\n
