This desktop rocket model was developed for our client in order to improve on a previous design. Our client had previously commissioned these models out of soldered brass. The brass would sometimes crack during shipment. This presented a challenge to come up with a new material for the frame of the model.
KiwiMill model makers decided to use 3D printed black nylon for the black frame. This black nylon is both strong and flexible, minimizing the opportunity for breakage. The desktop rocket model will now be produced in bulk using this new prototype.
