Some reference from the anime series. The design of the Spartanian is not specific all the time.

This model will be based on Olivier Poplin's Spartanian 170. I'm going to print the decals myself.

1:144 Spartanian is massive! It is made of 3 parts: the cockpit, the main body and the laser cannons.

The model is printed with "white natural versatile plastic" meaning nylon and selective laser sintering (SLS). This results the surface is pretty coarse and needs to be sanded.

A lot of Surfacer 500, 1000 and filler spray.

The cocpit is now better after three sets of filler and sanding. The main fuselage will be more difficult.

After two sets of sanding and filler i painted the main body with blue to ensure that everything is sanded.

Almost everything is now sanded and should be smooth enough.

Thanks! I'm not fully satisfied with the result, but this is almost only way to get a model from Spartanian.
