Heresy Era Strike Cruiser

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/heresy-era-strike-cruiser

I was finally able to make a better 3D model of the old Heresy Cruiser lost in the warp. I came across previously unknown STC fragments, and was able to recreate a .stl file. The model is larger than game size, so will need to be scaled down 50% to be cruiser size. I hope this works for those looking for this design. Please provide feedback or other adjustment suggestions. This is the first model I have ever created.

Where did you find the STL you used?

I created it using Meshy AI. I had to used the higher quality options, and several attempts at creating a 3D image until it created one I liked. I then imported it into my slicing software and tested the scaling and details.

Uu, I have been wondering about creating a workflow to AI-generate 3D models for BFG. Example from images

This was a model that I had bought a couple when it was on Shapeways before they went out of business. I have been looking for it for a while. I posted a previous attempt and people seemed to like it and suggested I improve it. Based on the negative upvotes on my comment above, it looks like they aren’t happy I used AI?
Either way, I found Meshy AI to be hit or miss. It sometimes gives you an almost clean model, but other times it does some wacky things. This model finally was something I wanted. If I had more time to learn Blender, I could have drawn it out, but time is something of a premium that I don’t have hours to sit and learn Blender at the moment.

You've got it marked as "No AI" on cults, please remove that tag.

Thank you so much for pointing that out. I have corrected that on Cults and removed the “No AI” tag.

Now you have me feeling guilty for using AI and making this available. I love your work, and don’t want to take away from any creator. I was originally trying to make something for myself since I wasn’t able to buy more. Other people seemed interested in this as well, so I thought I would offer it up. There are some variations from the original design, if that changes anything. I will gladly take down the model if people feel it is encroaching on the creator.
