BUCKAROO BANZAI Thermapod Special Effects model
Welcome to the THERMAPOD model page!!
Buckaroo Banzai was quite a unique movie for it's time. Absolutely one of the strangest sci fi movies to come out of the early 80s. Certainly some of the strangest looking characters and ship designs.
**If you are ordering the 3D print files, I SEND THE FILES MANUALLY, which means there is a lag between ordering and receiving the files. I'm not always at my computer so please allow a few hours during business hours to receive your files.
Be sure to check my BUSINESS FACEBOOK PAGE for more info on this project.

This is a 3D print project available in STL FORMAT.
The thermapod has a default scale of 1:24th, which makes it 16 inches long tip to tip. I divided it so that a large format model can be made even on small to medium sized printers. If you'd like to scale your model larger or smaller, I have an instruction tutorial linked below showing you how to do this free. Customize your model to any size you'd like!
The THERMAPOD INCLUDES THESE PARTS:
- MAIN HULL
- SECONDARY HULL (FRONT)
- CLAW 1
- CLAW 2
- CLAW 3
- DISPLAY PLAQUE (optional)
