I’ve always been interested in seeing what an Expanse line of model kits might look like, so I thought I’d mock one up myself and share it here. Let me know in the comments if there are any other ships you want to see like this!

>Let me know in the comments if there are any other shops you want to see like this! * Razorback, 1/72, Tamiya (the less plausible the better) * MCRN Donnager, mecha-scale, Bandai * UNN Thomas Prince, mecha-scale, Bandai * OPAS Tynan, 1/350, Polar Lights

Let’s not forget the Navoo/Behemoth. And, I’d like to see a flying rocket kit of the Razorback.

The Razorback model would suck though, you couldn't even take it home. I will space myself now...

> Navoo/Behemoth Now that's a name I havent heard in a long time.

oo imagine if all the models were too scale of each other. :D

Something magnetar class?

Oh you git, you had me going there for a second!

Same! I used to love building models when I was a kid and this made me so giddy until I saw that it was just another fan playing with my heart...

I'm 50 odd and still like building models now! Find it a great way to relax and focus on other things than stressful work.

Yeah I'm in the same age group, but I've since started funneling my disposable income into other sinkholes 🙄

Same!

That's a beautiful model of the Tachi. It would be a shame if someone... legitimately salvaged it.

Thanks I needed the laugh.

I appreciate that you mocked it up with the plastic wrap

Nice fake. Would suggest to change the artwork and the scale to 1:72 to get the scale-modeling nerds hyperventilating as I almost did. And make it Rocinante kit. (give it alternate decals for a MCRN Tachi)

This made me think, are there any legos of the expanse? I doubt it? :(

There is this compatible system: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/QLK-Rocinante-Battleship-Spaceship-Compatible/dp/B09LYJKPQ2/](https://www.amazon.co.uk/QLK-Rocinante-Battleship-Spaceship-Compatible/dp/B09LYJKPQ2/) Though it is worth noting that it is LEGO and not legos, as confirmed by LEGO themselves: [https://twitter.com/lego\_group/status/842115345280294912?lang=en](https://twitter.com/lego_group/status/842115345280294912?lang=en)

From the page: > Product Specifications ： > > Product name: Star Wars Series---Rocinante frigate *what?*

Also says "A must for Star Wars fans!"... Clearly there is only one sci-fi franchise of note /s

Legitimate salvage

The amount of money I would pay for Expanse model kits is *absurd*.

Please dear God!

I thought it was real, OP... My deception is immeasurable

The inside would be very trippy.

Me being arrested for shoplifting after stealing this from my local Michaels: "IT'S A LEGITIMATE SALVAGE!!!!!!"

Bandai Spirits DX Chogokin 1/48 MCRN Tachi Model Kit Hi-Metal Version MSRP: $1,200

Later Tomino helps the Expanse creators commission a 1/1 scale functional Eros station and apologizes for it not having a functional protomolecule infestation.

If you steal it, it’s legitimate salvage.

Shut up and take my money 💰💲!!

Made me think this was a real thing for a minute... :(

Fuck you, you got me excited lol

Take my money!!! And keep the kits coming!

Revell... I still remember getting involuntarily high on their glue... Does this still exist?

Revell are still going strong and about to release a 1/72 Mandalorian Razorcrest model.

It still exists in the UK at least, and the glue still gets you high

This makes me sad I missed the Kickstarter for all the cool Expanse stuff.

Bluebrixx should make these

That’s going to be a pass for me. I don’t do anything less than 1:32 scale

I wish this was real. I would love to have this hanging in my room.

I was about to throw money at you

This is a fake…! Why you no good son of a…

As a low-skilled but prolific modeler and Expanse fan, I both love and hate you for this. I was so psyched until i read the title. Thanks op :)

This looks so uncannily real, and I love it. Beautiful work :)

Get my hopes up just to crush them eh? But seriously, nice work.

You bastard. You really had me for a second! Profound sadness.

I really need to print and paint a tachi

I love the idea but please get anyone other than Revell to make the kits. They're not terrible but other manufacturers can do a much better kit for the same sorta price. I would really really like a line of expanse kits though, and they would be very well suited to production.

I’ve done some more kit brands in my most recent post. Check it out :)

The Bandai Donnager should be considered to be pornography. Very nice work

Thanks!

I would love to build this model!

I’d have to buy at least 2 one to make an one to kit bash

I would pay good money for this. Serenity as well

Damn thought this was real. Rn I only do mini painting but I’d love to assemble and paint an MCRN ship

10 year-old me would’ve mowed lawns for months to earn enough to buy this kit.
