That's epic! I'm halfway through a 1:96 Saturn V at the moment, but this will be going into the build queue.

The ship is great looking, but it seems you found the dirtiest spot on the floor to put it on and take a picture :lol:

Edy told me that he would like to do a "mini DGIV" at the same scale, that would be pretty funny for a diorama

But he didn't promise anything yet.

So no DGIV yet, but Edy is working right now on a landing gears, crew and rover lift kit.
He said that adding gears and crew lift will be easy on the finished model but more difficult for the rover's lift.

This is one of those things that you may want to hang on your ceiling with strings and give a sense that it's orbiting. great work!

The addon has been updated with the landings gear, rover and crew lifts as announced three posts above. http://francophone.dansteph.com/?page=addon&id=185
Edy will most probably work now on a mini Azure rover, I did send the model to him. At this scale it should be about 3cm long so not much details I guess !?

I would personnaly do that and love to have a mini DGIV to hang under as if it was in docking approach... with the bay open that would be stunning !

Update:

Thanks to Edy, now the blueprint contain also the DGIV with all skins in different scale: 1:400 like the Arrow Freighter but also 1:200 and 1:100

Here the DGIV is docked on the rear dock

Here the DGIV at 1:400 scale with nose and bay open and also the Azure Rover, the cones figure the hover smoke but they are not mandatory of course,
Edy told me that he is working on the landing gear.
