Today, the Rifter model I won at Eve Twitch arrived šŸ˜ Thanks again, CCP, for issuing this prize and assisting me when I wasnā€™t able to reach the manufacturer (presumably cause I had no access to the account on which it was ordered). My thoughts on Integral Reality Labsā€™ product: - one of the protruding thingies is slightly bent. Itā€™s made of flexible material, I can bend it into shape but it reverts to its bent shape. - the model rests on its standard, which is an advantage or a downside depending on how much you enjoy moving it about while making pew pew sounds. - to my great disappointment, no flamy glow emanates from below the hood - confirming my suspicion that Eve Online is far prettier than boring old non-virtual reality. If you consider ordering from outside the US, keep in mind tariffs may apply. Iā€™m in Belgium and had to pay ā‚¬41.44 in VAT and customs fees (for the privilege of waiting an extra 10 days so customs could check my parcel for herbs our government thinks are too tasty/inspiring for us, mere Belgian citizens). ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/a/4/4a47a7d629314a9a5566777e60846cea0f889f67.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/5/d/c5dd414fafb7267703ab0e0c0d48e0f9607bbe55.jpeg) ---

Make sure to give it an anti rust treatment. ---

I brought one back from Fanfest and when I got home one of the guns had broken off, they were a bit fragile a few years ago. ---

Terribly sorry if I got peopleā€™s hopes up in vain, I didnā€™t realize these models arenā€™t available for purchase anymore. I just wanted to share my experience, to help out prospective buyers and CCP. > **[Last Chance for EVE Ship Models | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/last-chance-for-eve-ship-models)** > > Pick up a gorgeous 3D-printed EVE ship model before time runs out Too bad, I was considering buying a few other Eve ship models but thought it prudent to wait for this Rifter to arrive. I did find a few ā€œfan artā€ offerings on Etsy, including an Orthrus kit. Might this be a consequence of the proliferation of 3D printers? Are people supposed to print and paint their own henceforth? Will CCP make print files available? I found a site called gamemodels3d - it seems to be a Russian donation based print file sharing site. ---
