Currently there are 8 Expanse paper models that exist. Some readily available, others no longer (v1s).

The first 2 come from Michael Grosberg, with his Rocinante at the start of 2018. The first 1 is from S1.
See Zathros’ links above for the S1 Roci. A couple of months later he put out the second 1: the Tachi repaint.

Tachi repaint:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jWg7ldES6apOmRFFGB_armtDRIMK25yy/view parts
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jWg7ldES6apOmRFFGB_armtDRIMK25yy/view instructions are the same as his Roci.

The next 1 was Dave Lukens’ Epstein Yacht in mid 2018. See Z’s link above.
Also, as Mijob points out, his Paper Modeling book is great, so grab it while you’re there.

The next 5 are from Cheesy Wotsit:

Donnager v1 (2019, 404 currently)
Morrigan v1 (2019, 404 currently)
Morrigan v2 with stand (2019)
Truman with stand (2020)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i0-sVa19g3z6tSl0YBOrVr4Ue5o7O7FF
Anubis Amun Ra Stealth Frigate (2021)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dLKeWJlojvl3aAvppaoJ4lCKOkFmn_a6/view
Scirroco with stand (2021)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WSDtjKjIprnflxFTbLvRjQJWji13ycCT/view
Donnager v2 with stand(2022)
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rMslT_asjwawMPZUBL45RKyWOUNxErH1

He’s currently designing the Pella and the Cant while he’s also reworking his Truman (v2).
Side note: I’ve been trying to talk him into making the Razorback.

Hope this helps, J.

Edit: Inserted a pic of CW's Morrigan v2, the Cu Chulainn. Corrected Morrigan v2 Link (Mk2).

RF,
Great find... when it was available.

I've got both versions of the Donnager & the Morrigan.

BTW, here's CW's Pella & the Cant (Canterbury).
I think he just needs to finish the instructions for these two.

Nice find, RF!
