    Does anyone have STL files for the battleship North Carolina superstructure?
    Thank you,

    How detailed do you want it? I could build one for you.

    I like a what I call “Combat detail”. Something in line with the QE superstructure in resources. Thanks for the response!

    Thanks!

    I could not or would not ever charge to design something in CAD for this community.
    Let me get the NC taken care of and I can do up a Graf Spee.

    Need to add the range finders, windows, search lights, and a few ladders.
    Then I can piece it out for printing.

    Wow, Thank you. You are quick off the mark to be that far on the NC super.

    Pending in the resource section.
    Secondary locations designed for NickMyers 5" and Mk37 range finder locations designed to fit RCENGR MK37 range finders.

    Morning,
    How would one get to the file section? I see the NC super in the 3D section in resources. If you have completed it already sir you are a machine. Thank you.

    Recovering from surgery and I literally sit at a computer all day waiting for bad people to try to cause havoc. The bad-guys-of-the-internet are usually on vacation July through Aug so it is pretty quiet right now. I started it yesterday morning and just cleaned some stuff up this morning.
    It is pending approval. Once I submit it, a mod/admin has to approve it and then it will show up. Typically a few hours from when I send something to when it is published.

    Just wanted to give some feedback, I printed out the North Carolina superstructure and you did an a+ job. My only suggestions would be where you have small alignment pegs and then corresponding holes in the next section up I would oversize the holes by 10% at least due to 3d printer tolerances. My printers are pretty darn good, and I still can't get the pegs to fit in the holes. Going to have to drill out the holes a tiny bit.

    All in all, very good job though. I will have to send you some pictures once it's fully assembled.

    The alignment pins for the range finders and forward funnel platform?

    Yes I believe that was them. The pins for the forward funnel platform and the rear superstructure platform, the top level that overhangs.
