Terran Battlecruiser

Battlecruiser operational

This is an attempt to make a model based on the appearance of the Behemoth class Battlecruiser from StarCraft as it appears in the cinematics of the original game and the Brood War expansion. It's not intended to be a 1:1 recreation and a few liberties were taken in the design, particularly with regards to the neck and the overall shaping of the hull and wings is simplified with fewer angles. I did not really make this to any specific scale, but at its default size, it is roughly ~1:5000 scale, sort of.

There are two versions of the neck, one is based on the classic appearance while the other is a solid version that is very loosely based on later depictions of the Terran Battlecruiser.

The model is designed to be printed as separate pieces that are then glued together (I used cyanoacrylate glue/CA Glue AKA Super Glue), as such some additional preperation is required such as sanding of the connection points to ensure better adhesion. There is an STL to print the entire model as a single piece, but keep in mind that this will require a lot of time (essentially an entire day depending on your printer and settings).

As well, the models for the port and starboard wingtip stabilizer things (Blizzard has never actually eleborated on what they are) are not identical to each other; in order to tell them apart, the port stabilizer has a single vertical line behind where it connects to the wing while the starboard stabilizer has two vertical lines.

Edit: I accidentally uploaded this with the wrong version of the Aft Hull STL; this older version has a section on the bottom engine housing that is too thin and is very weak when printed (I accidentally tore it off when removing supports). I have replaced this outdated version of the Aft Hull STL with the improved version, the improved version is named BC Aft Hull-1; please ensure that you have this updated version of the STL for a better printing experience.
