Nausicaa Glider and FoxSquirrel is based on characters depicted in the classis anime 'Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind.' Each element has been carefully designed and created to capture the spirit and style of the classic film. Nausicaa comes with all of her iconic equipment and weapons. Her pet fox squirrel sits on her shoulder, while she is posed to hold onto the rails of her glider.
The glider has been designed to be printed in 9 pieces, making it easier to print. The models have been test printed using a resin printer, in which case, it is best to assemble the glider after removing stray resin and supports, before curing. Once cured, rigidity or shrinkage may make assembly more difficult. The flaps are designed to pivot, so be sure to remove all resign before assembly.
Given the level of detail, it is probably best to scale the model up if printing on an FDM printer, depending on the quality of the printer or little details may not output correctly.
