    Yes although I have printed one out on a SLA printer I'm not sure they are going to work. They may have to be milled instead

    the Strike ones? dont think so. I'd be very surprised if either of our two commercial suppliers advocated printing cannon, even limiting such to the supplying of model files, out of liability concerns.

    very nice. What I remember on running one many years ago is the hanger "tub" always came back with water. Was thinking at the time to make it a pool with n-scale figures :)

    Very Nice. I always wanted to make that well for mine. Your stern crane is that 3d printed ?

    Yes it is and has a magnet embedded in its base. So when I go out for battle it can be easily removed for clear line of sight

    I really like what you done for those parts. I could use replacements for my Yamato. Are you making more for spares or selling those parts ?

    I would love to replace my BC 25 mm domed AA Mounts and the bow cleats heck what you have there for my Yamato. If you decide to make a package set let me know I be very very interested in purchasing a set to replace mine. I also need catapults and the stern crane.

    If I ever find time I might put out a limited production but for right now I'm just trying to get mine going.
    Here's what I'm doing with the bow

    The small 17m launch on the side is just held there by a clothes pin. I can't decide whether to bond it to the underside of the decking (witch was my first plan) or magnetically to the hull. Any thoughts?

    cant imagine it would stay intact and on once the steel really starts flying. I'd just glue it on with something I could scrap off later so I could glue a new one in its place rather than be losing magnets

    With the magnet I would take it off before battle and with the glue it would just be more canon fod
