Just finished season 2 of "The Expanse" (the season finale has a cool cameo by Adam Savage...) and so here is my third build of Michael Grosberg's fine design of the Rocinante.
For this build, I shrunk the model from 1/100th scale to 1/144th. The model builds into a fine replica off the page, but I added panel detail and other bits and pieces to enhance and accurize its 3D appearance. I also scribed and folded the lengthwise panels on the nozzle for the Epstein Drive to give it the faceted look of the "real" vehicle.
After the Roci got shot up in the raid on Eros (S2E2) the ship had some battle-damage repair patches applied at Tycho Station. I modeled them with small rectangles of thin light gray stock applied over blast marks from a dark gray marker.
Done just in time for season 3, which starts in April....
