    JJ, if you hadn't told us that the QGs structrure was 3D printed, one would not be able to tell that. Fantasic job in making it look like its all been made of wood.

    Harshil, glad to see you back at it on Confederacy. As for the stern carvings, I decided to 3D print mine. And I feel like that was the best option. You can check out my build log to see them
  20. KennyH78
    JJ, lookig really good! You have to look really hard at the QGs to see that they were 3D printed.

    Here are the files for the 7 main carvings on the stern of the USF Confederacy. Let me know if there are any issues with them.

    I will post them later when I get home and in front of my computer. I don’t mind sharing

    Printed the stern carvings for my USF Confederacy build on my Anycubic Photon Mono 4 with Inslogic Oak colored resin. Used meshy and relief maker to generate the stl files from the plans. Big thanks to Chuck for sharing the information on how to get started with all this in this thread.
  27. KennyH78
    They definitely look way better than the white metal ones supplied by model shipways in the kit.

    Work has been slow in the shipyard, but I did get some work done on the stern carvings. I used meshy and relief maker to generate the stl files and then printed them out on my resin 3d printer. Now I need to do some test to get them to close in color to the stained basswood of the hull.
  29. KennyH78
    Thanks, Glen. All of those tiny details were a pain to paint. Glad I have my trusty headband with flip down magnifying lenses and light (the kind that jewelers use).
  30. KennyH78
    Work has progressed slowly on the hull, but I think it is now completed. I finished building, painting and installing the deck house, cannon, windlass and anchors. Next task is to start the masts and rigging.
  31. KennyH78
    These figureheads are awesome. What program(s) do you use to create your stl files and bas reliefs?

    Igor, your prints looks awesome! They definitely look better than the white metal one supplied in the kit from Model Shipways. I am still trying to sort out how to make up some stl files for the stern carvings that look good for my build. You wouldn't be willing to share where you got your prints from, would you?

    @Chuck I printed out your file of the figure and it is a perfect fit; looks great too. Now to get all of the stern carvings made into stl files and printed out. Once I have everything in stl files, I will print them out in beige resin.
  39. KennyH78
    The carvings and figurehead for Winnie are 3d printed. As for Confederacy, I am slowly working on designing and producing a set of carvings in resin using Chuck's tutorial. I really hate the white metal ones supplied with the kit. I already have the cannons printed.
  40. KennyH78
    Chuck, thanks for providing the file; I know that you are a busy man. I will print it later this week. I still need to teach myself how to do all of this.

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.
