Nice A-Wing in the last pictureGot a little more printed and installed on the Tarsus
It is still rough, and needs cleaning up.

Amazing Tarsus!

Start a new game.
My mockup is ready.
Now that my 3D printer is ready for use again, I was able to finalize my design after a few tests.
The pictures show the Tarsus with the equipment when starting a new game.
Equipped with a laser cannon and a rocket launcher.
Other test prints are the accessories next to the spaceship.
After some experimentation I am reasonably happy with the scale I have decided on.
I build my Tarsus as I fly it in the game.
The representation in the game is not logically correct, but the main thing is that the model looks cool.
During my analysis of the “WC3D Collection Index” files, I noticed some scaling differences between the 3D models.
I also noticed that the Tarsus cockpit model does not match the Tarsus spaceship model. Both have a different angle in the front area. If I remember correctly approx. 39 degrees to approx. 62 degrees.
What also doesn't work are ten rockets in the launcher. The rockets would have to be tiny for that.
As I said, logic doesn't matter, the main thing is that it looks cool.
The next planned steps are to produce the parts with better print quality and to work out more details.

Great Tarsus!

A quick test print.
The attempt to bring the Dralthi VII from Thingiverse to the same scale as the Tarsus.
Both models had the same laser cannon models which made scaling easier.
What do you think about the scale ratio?
I've also been looking at other ships besides the Tarsus.
Most of the ships are only shown in flight.
Does anyone have any ideas for landing gear for the spaceships?
Thanks for your opinion and help.

Great work!
I think it is consistent with what we see in Privateer and what we hear in Wing Commander I about the big wings blocking a Dralthi pilot's vision to the side.

Super Wing Commander uses the same model for their Dralthi and the landing scene doesn't have any gear - it just kind of rests on its wings.

Cool!

The only ship we have hard numbers for are the Dralthi at 28 meters, and that's assuming that's it's the same size as the one from Claw Marks. At least for the player ships you can scale them using the cockpit models:
