    Has anybody considered doing the hood superstructure in an STL? I would like to try and finish my build and I am really terrible with Plastic card, but I have a 3-D printer

    Thank you so much. I’ve been wanting to make this build in multiple scales for a long time and I get a lot less negativity when I have British ships floating in the pond along with my German ones at my park

    Hey so how detailed do you need it?

    Furthermore, have you got a hull already?

    Shoot me a PM

    Well, honestly, I would love to get as much details as I could with it such as doors, platforms and port holes. I do have a hull it’s in 1/128 scale so I’ll have to enlarge it on my printer to fit it, but I am in the process of building the whole in one/144. Also, you can look on the website Fleet scale and it will tell you what all their kit provides to save you some time.

    I’m hoping so I’ve never built the hood and I’m waiting for it to be delivered so I’m kind of nervous, I’ve done Bismarck several times and have had great luck with it in all scales

    Well, I just got a second person needing a Hood SS, and I've done some of the preliminary work already.

    Oh hey BTW, if you go to the farmer's market in Florence and you see a stand for Blue Dawg Farms, tell Carl that Anvil X-Ray says hello
