Description

This is a remix of the base for Martin's excellent Destiny model. The only thing I didn't love about the original model was the base as it was very plain, too low, and the ship isn't really balanced when sitting on it. Firstly, I wanted to add some flair to the base so it felt more like a model kit piece. Using Stargate fonts, I added Destiny to one side and Stargate Universe to another. With the 2 other blank sides, I added the actual 9 chevron gate address for Destiny, and finally “Remixed by John Willis” in an Ancient font pack as an Easter egg. Recommend you print at 0.2 mm layer height or lower through the text so that it comes out crisp. In addition, this base is a couple centimeters taller than the original, offering a better view of the ship, and it has a central notch that fits comfortably on the rail behind the original base attachment point. This will let you slide it around to find the point where the ship is naturally balanced. I'm really happy with the final look of the model with these changes, and I hope you enjoy it!
