You’re welcome Carl! From our whole family. Our oldest son Zac did a lot of the clay work, built parting boards and wetsanded his fingerprints off for that glossy finish while I was out of town, Dori waxed the mold 10x and she does amazing details in her waxing (way better than I can with my gorilla paws). All the kids help around here in different ways. From our family to all of you, a sincere thanks for sharing our love of model ships.... Ahoy!
And at 4.5 units way too light gunned, with 1.5 pumps. I might do a .5 unit pump option, in gun options, use a bow mount. Looks like get up and go is a bit of a must have. We will see
Don't forget the cereal box, I hear that's a requirement in some parts. Oh, and the turret might be shared at some point in the near or not so near future. We'll see.
Yeah, the one from WOWs is a good starting point. Gotta take that round part off the back, though. That conflicts with every reference I've found. It prints OK solid. I'm using one as a paperweight ATM. PS. Looks like someone is doing destructive testing on 3DP Kort Props... maybe MACHOs? PPS. I'm just gonna leave this pic here. PPPS. I'll post the STLs if, everyone promises not to use TP tubes : P
Back in business with the hull arriving today, looks great looking forward to catching up on lost time
Welp. My Shop's clean now, no matter what my friends say when they come over. What are you planning for that Belerophon hull under there? I saw you've filled that role with the Courbet. Gonna keep it in the pile for later?
That’s crazy talk to put two pumps in it. The 75 round gun in the stern turret is a killer. One of the best guns in the hobby.
Yes 20ish boats in an 9x11ish work area gets tight the hull underneath is radetzky which is an active build, Bellerophon is not pictured on the top shelf in a nested group of 5ish smaller hulls in the queue. She’ll get built eventually
