The 3D printable Universal Shuttle Type – G – BB has been designed as a terrain piece for science fiction tabletop, skirmish, and roleplaying games with 28–32mm miniatures.
Dimensions and Impact
It is about 64 cm long, 46 cm wide, and 21 cm high in the civil version, so it can work as a real centerpiece for your gaming table. It is even bigger in the assault version.
Design Features
The Universal Shuttle Type G — “Big Boy” is a much wider version of the standard base model USTG. There is more space inside for living quarters and cargo.
Interior Layout
When you remove the roof, you have access to the cockpit, a room for the passengers or crew, and an engine room with much space for cargo and a second level.
Customization Options
You can change the interior with “environmentals,” for example: bunk beds, bathroom, pantry, weapon cabinets… and you can include a 3rd exit.
“Captain Aria Novak stood at the helm of the Universal Shuttle Type – G – BB, affectionately nicknamed “Big Boy” by her crew. The massive vessel hummed with energy as it prepared for its next interstellar jump. Through the expansive cockpit windows, Zara could see the swirling nebula they were about to traverse. She glanced back at her diverse team of explorers, each busy at their stations in the spacious interior. The modular design of the ship had allowed them to customize it perfectly for their long-range exploration mission. As Zara initiated the jump sequence, she couldn’t help but smile. Whether they encountered peaceful alien civilizations or hostile forces, their versatile craft was ready for anything the universe might throw at them.”

Civil Version
The civil version has broad curving wings that function also as a shield.
Assault Version
The assault version has other wings that can be mounted in different positions. It also comes with an ion repulsor cannon and a back turret with a gunner’s seat and laser weapons.
