THE BLACK HOLE PALOMINO REPLICA WEBPAGE
Welcome to THE BLACK HOLE Palomino replica page. This model is primarily available as a set of STL file sets for you to 3D print at home. I can also provide a physical kit (email me to inquire). I dedicated much time to making sure the parts are engineered in such a way as to produce dependable prints while allowing the tinkerer to customize his own 3D printing experience.
In the coming months there will be a build-up and paint-up instructional video tutorial for the Palomino. Keep checking back.

Resize larger or smaller from default size. Print a 4" model to 4 foot model!! The sky is the limit. INTERIOR MODULE IS INCLUDED free with each STL file set.
Palomino parts include:
- PDF DECAL (pdf for both waterslide decal and vinyl cutting applications)
- antenna array (keyed for easy assembly)
- MAIN HULL - this is keyed at the bottom to align to the bottom hull pan to make sure there are no alilgnment issues. The main hull is offered as a SOLID STL for you to customize to your printing needs, and also offered as a hollowed 3mm thick shell)

- OPTIONAL base (can be laser cut or 3D printed) Files include the vector so it can also be cut in vinyl, water jetted, etc..
HOW IT WAS MADE:
Even the highest resolution photos of the film-used miniature are still a bit fuzzy on the hull details. I absolutely scoured the internet for every available reference shot of the model and came up with what I could. Many thanks to the 3D modelers who came before me.
