South Carolina Superstructure

I am trying to 3d print my superstructure. I can do most of the shapes that I need in Tinkercad. However the air scoops near the smokestacks are beyond my poor skills. Any suggestions or do you know of anything similar? As you can see from the picture, the ones I have are a bit beat up.

Thanks

 

There are some cowl vents in this upload from @rcengr https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/potemkin.443985/
Maybe they need to be scaled up a little but, they are likely good enough : )
Please post up pics of your SC when you are done.

 

Thank you. I will look into this.

 

If you are into accurate scale detail, this might not be of interest, BUT if you are a battler;

there is an extremely durable hard plastic "bit" - a 90 degree tubing angle of the correct size for your particular model ( I know because I have used it on my SoCar for 10 years and other drivers have requested them). It is included in the kit for anesthesia gas machines called the circuit and noone uses it. They(OR crews) throw out hundreds of these a week because most machines do not need them. If you cut one end short, it makes a pretty good approximation and is BB proof. The joint onto the deck is the weak link.

 

Interesting. Thanks Nate.

 

Hi Chris,

Attached is the air scoop for the South Carolina as modeled for World of Warships. This is for the front set. If you would like an STL for the middle and rear scoops, just let me know. This only took a few minutes to convert.

I started out with TinkerCad. I use Fusion 360 now. I highly suggest if you want to make any parts for ships you convert. Plenty of how to YouTube videos and its free for hobbists.

 

Like most things from WOWs, it's not very round : (
