Thanks for the blow by blow Navy, I was curious how you can make a boat with a 3d printer. This is awsome.

mtdoramike got a reaction from ccoyle in Corsaro II by mtdoramike - FINISHED - Corel
The Corel Corsaro II is was an adoption from a fellow modeler, who decided to offer it for someone to finish it. So I adopted her with the anticipation of finishing her and hopefully turn her into a grand lady of the sea. Stay tuned for periodic updates. I'm finishing up on the USS Missouri adoption and will make the Corsaro my next project.
I have a great starting point here to finish her up. Most orphans I adopt are not nearly of this quality, I usually have to rip it apart and start over, but this is from a master modeler, so I expected no less.

Oh boy, I'm definately tuning into this build. Ted, I'm finishing up on the Trumpeter Missouri now and found the best glue foe me was Tamiya Plastic cement in the orange labeled bottle. I used some scrap plastic from the kit and glued a few pieces together and placed them in water for a month to test out whether it would work for the under water portions of the build and the pieces were fused together and didn't come apart in the water.

I've been dry-fitting the sides of the hanger deck. Absolutely necessary as the little locating tabs and other small areas need to be trimmed to get the pieces to sit tight to the deck. Also helpful to planning which side doors to leave open and sequence for painting.

Thanks for the info on prop shafts.
I placed the Mk-1 PE detail for the degausing wires, but they looked too flat. The Midwest models guy added styrene rods to simulate the actual wires and I liked the looks of that. So, I added .025" styrene rods on top of the PE brass. Looks good to my eye. But, I only purchased one package of 10 of the .025 rods thinking it would be enough--wrong. Took all 10 for one side, with the left-overs visible in one photo. Gotta buy another package, but it's going to be in .020 size. The larger rods are a little crowded on the PE, and could stand to be a "slightly" smaller dia. Not concerned as it's the opposite side of the hull and only I will notice.

After stripping the masking tape intended to simulate panel lines, but leaving the boot stripe tape in place. Looks like it's going to have the desired effect. 4 coats of the primer gives a good, but not too "good" edge to my fingers and eye. Color coat will tell. Doing the PE degausing detail next.
Does anyone know what color the exposed screw shafts should be? I've never seen exposed shafts in dry dock. I wouldn't see a need for anti-fouling paint for an active service vessel, but I don't know.
In reading the history of CV-6, she was one of the few "night-qualified carriers in WW II. Too late now, but it might have been interesting to model the dark deck. I'll do a search to see if the dark deck is available as a "deck only" detail.
It would be nice to do a 90 deg rotation of the picture, but I don't see a way to do this.
