Jaster's Legacy
The ship is big, so I had to slice most of the main parts to fit my small printer - here the main parts of the hull are joined back together - Starboard side
Port side - some cleaning of the joins will be needed
Back of the main hull, where the rear gunner's section joins - I have added detail to the wall from bits from the spares box and failed prints.
Rear wall painted
The rear gunner section came with poorly detailed seats
Moulded in seats removed
New printed seats ready to install. Joining face painted with Texta before sanding flat
Details added in the gunner's cockpit
Gunner's cockpit painted - decided to go with just a single seat
Cockpit section printed. I removed the original seats as, while they were tall enough, they weren't wide enough for the figure. They were replaced with rescaled printed chairs, which fit the figure (an AMT Boba Fett) nicely
Front section - no glass in the cockpit windows
I made some inserts for the various windows from Aves Putty and sanded them to shape, and used them as bucks for vac-forming window glass. Here the top and rear panels
Main window bucks and vac-formed glazing
Cockpit and pilot figure painted
Side panels and cockpit walls painted.
Cockpit all joined together, just waiting on the glazing

Album info
The Jaster's Legacy is an Amphibious Interstellar Assault Transport/Infantry Gunship (AIAT/I) flown by Jango Fett in the prequel era, before he flew the Slave I. I appeared in the Bounty Hunter video game. This is a 3D printed kit, made from files by Zarkus Model, which are free files on Thingiverse. The original files are in 1/144 scale but I scaled them up to 1/72 - rather than print at 200%, I printed at 181.2%, at which point the cockpit seats nicely fit a 1/72 scale Boba Fett figure I was going to use.
