At @macashton.bsky.social first book event for the release of his new #scifi novel one of the people attending the event had 3-D printed the Nana's Hog, the ship in the book. This is so freaking cool!

A 3D printed replica of the "Nana's Hog", the spaceship from the novel "One Night at Kedasi" stands next to a copy of the book. The printed ship is about 8 inches (20 cm) tall. It has two triangular "ears" and a green circle for the "snout".
