CLOSE ENCOUNTERS of the THIRD KIND SCOUT SHIPS
Monday, January 29, 2024 at 11:47AM Welcome to the CLOSE ENCOUTERS SCOUT SHIPS UFOs home page! I modeled a total of TEN (10!) different scout ships, each splits in half at the perimeter with hollowed shells ready for mounting animating LED lighting effects. Print in filament or resin. Each UFO has some slots for lights, but customize as you see fit with additional drill holes for LEDs and/or slots for LED strips. Where needed, I engineered the parts to separate, making printing and assembly easier. I'll have a full video introduction coming shortly. Who's going to be the first to print and light these? This represents 9 months of research. Thanks go out to Lou Z., Scott W., and Voodoo FX for their invaluable help with this project.
These are replicas of the Scout UFOs seen in Close Encounters. I modeled NINE total ships. These are STL file sets for 3D printing.
There's several of these currently being built and lit-up. Follow along with our progress at: www.facebook.com/letsmakethestuff
These are my 10 separate creations:
- FLATBED
- TALL ICE CREAM CONE
- CLOCHE UFO
- D-SHIP SMALLER
- D-SHIP LARGER
- ROAD UFO #1
- ROAD UFO #2
- GAS MASK
- TALL ICE CREAM CONE
- BUNNY EARS ICE CREAM
Work in progress on TALL ICE CREAM CONE - buildup and photos by Titan Ross.
INTRODUCING Scout UFO #10 - the FLATBED:
This is UFO #9 I'm calling the BUNNY EARS ICE CREAM!
This is the purchase button for DIGITAL FILES. Files are delivered electronically and no physical media is included. The files are sent manually so please allow a few hours for delivery. Files are STL format. I personally sculpted these. THEY ARE NOT FOR RE-SALE, REDISTRIBUTION or MODIFICATION/REDISTRIBUTION. Thanks!
If you're interested in ordering several, I can offer them at 50% off if you get 4 or more. Email me: impervium@hotmail.com
The "Cloche" film-used model suddenly made a surprise first ever appearance at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles in 2024. When you get the 3D mesh you'll notice a few modifications that make it more accurate to the filming model.

HOW THEY WERE MADE:
As with the BLIMP project, Mr. Rod France contributed greatly to this build.
