This is an scaled model of the spaceship of the 2016's movie
Arrival based on the Ted Chiang's novel
Story of Your Life. The model was made using Solidworks with some views of the spacecraft as guide. In the movie, the spacecraft is said to measure 1500 feet tall, which is approximatelly 450m, comparable with the asteroids
Bennu and
Itokawa. The the model in the biggest scale,
1:1000, may be too big for some printers, the half is 22.5 cm tall.
The file's names explained:
name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x * 10
y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.
I spend part of my time making these models, letting them available and free for everyone. If you want to support my work, you can contribute with me here:
