    Roger, which ship are you building?
  2. thibaultron
    I can see a 3D CNC carving of this in my near future.

    The Sherman used a radial engine also. If the engine in your kit is as detailed as the illustrations show, you might want to display it next to the tank, rather than hide it inside.

    This was posted on another thread, but I think it fits.

    Unfortunately, none of the buildings will be tall enough for him to climb.

    I'll be watching, and thanks for the download link! This is just the type of ship I've been looking for for the pier area of my model railroad! And I love that version as well as the original version of the King Kong movies!

    1350mm, I'm sorry dear, I thought the catalog said 135mm! Must need new glasses! Why do you have that gleam in your eye, and why are you holding a knife?

    Check that Chitubox supports your brand and model of printer.

    Man, Chris put a lot of innovation into this kit! Great design and detail!

    Opps, that one is out of stock too, sorry. Maybe try Ebay?

    Jim, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

    Pointy, sharp, depends on the overall shape. After all a bluff front could hardly be considered sharp.
  15. thibaultron
    James, you never did the stern reveal.
  16. thibaultron
    Now that you have whetted our appetite, can you give us some details and history on Ranger?

    Here is a video I found on setting the exposure times for the base levels.

    If I might suggest some spray in foam at the ends, in case of rough seas, to keep it a float. In case weather, or an accidental hit while removing cargo, floods it.
  19. thibaultron
    Wow! Nice model, and a great adaptation for cargo delivery! Well done!

    90% IPA Walmart, in 1 quart bottles. I bought 3 gals worth for about $49 with sales tax.

    I have one of these, as well as a Harbor Freight wood workbench that I cut down to table height. I detailed that modification somewhere on this forum, unfortunately I think that thread was deleted due to some members abusing it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-52-in-W-x-24-in-D-Steel-2-Drawer-Adjustable-Height-Solid-Wood-Top-Workbench-Table-in-White-HOLT5202BJ2/311742117

    Hiding, definitely hiding!
  23. thibaultron
    That would be a best selling stand alone kit!!!
  24. thibaultron
    This is why I have a hand truck. If I want such a kit, I'd figure out how to move it. No problem Chris.

    A couple of links on the proper angle for a flat surface print. It depends on the resolution of your printer, and what you want the best surface of your model to be. This one is a link to the page with the diagrams and write up mentioned in the above video. https://themechninja.com/07/3d-printing-flat-surfaces-on-a-sla-3d-printer/ This video will reduce some of the fine detail, but has a neat test file. And this video will help to get correctly scaled parts.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
