    Yes, Flounder...it is great. But I think 10,000 marbles would sink it pretty quick.

    Here's a lousy cell phone photo of some test parts fresh off the printer.
    Left to right: Crane base, sans crane arm, aft armored outhouse (aft bridge), crane base with crane arm fitted.

    Amalgamation of sources reflecting as-built configuration as best possible. There are some differences between the ships in the class and a lack of readily available photo documentation in some areas where the plans are vague, absent or otherwise less than helpful.

    lol, appreciate the zeal, but not taking money yet. We'll have a cost estimate when we order the test kits (hopefully within the next month) and we'll probably set up to take orders then.

    this is exactly why this became a team project. He does so much better at the detail stuff than I do typically in CAD.

    as an aside, layout for the laser cutter has started.
