    The complex web work around the stacks complete and test fit of the forward hand rails.

    There be anchors here. Of all the unique features on this vessel the fact it carries both stocked and stockless anchors each on their own chain is very cool to model. I also started on the ultra fine stack rigging.

    More progress. I quickly printed off 4 of the larger long boats. I realized after I tried to fit them up that I forgot to shrink them down to 1/200 scale which was a 81% (hard to see in the pic but the boat on the far left is the right size and the top four are too big.) The other photos show the new Gatling gun mounts and test fitting the boat mounts.

    Back to my build. Work on the pedestals, case, and side gun mounts . I managed to router some scrap wood and find some UV resistant acrylic sheet which I welded with poly chloride bonding agent. I painted the base gray and layered on 3 coats of polyurethane. The pedestals were printed to fit and painted bronze. I then layered over brass wax paint with sealer. The model was screwed into place using 3 inch self tapping.

    Keith, On the printer I am using you can adjust the settings from draft .2 mm to fine .08 mm. There are multiple settings in between. The advantage with some is to give your piece strength vs detail. I have both a resin and FDM printer. The resin will give you details down to the 10 micrometer range. It will not give you much strength however. The FDM which in the past has never been great for details has come a long way and I am using it almost exclusively for this build. Cheers! TW

    1/150 ish 1917 version vs 1/200 1906 version unfinished size comparison

    All except for the anchor fluke work on the 1/150 ish St Louis is complete!

    Work on my 1/200 scale St. Louis continues. I finally got the decks looking like I wanted. (Mostly)

    An interesting thing happened a few weeks back. A person stopped by our ship model club meeting and donated an S D model of the St. Louis done up in her WWI camo. The model was busted up from shipping. I started restoring it in addition to building my 1/200 scale St. Louis.

    This is a great photo and having been to that part of the world up to Humbolt and Crescent City, I can see how that part of the coast is super unforgiving! This design has kind of grown on me since I started.

    So I have been playing the game World of Warships for quite sometime and I have been begging them to release some of their warship files so people could print and model them. Last year they did just that with the 1905 USS St. Louis CL 20. It is a 426 fool US armored cruiser which fought in WWI and was built in Philadelphia, PA. I have been printing for some time but this is the first full on ship print I have attempted. I just got a very good new Fused Deposit Material (FDM) printer and it is working wonders on printing the parts for me to assemble so far.

    I love this ship so I wish you joy of it! I will be building one at some point but my build log is a bit full right now! Can I ask where you got your references? I have been trolling both the national archives and the Philadelphia Historical Society to try and get more information on her.

    Lag on the project again. I got the 3d prints done. I needed to fiddle with the supports to get it to come out correct. No paint yet but the here is the prototype.

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.
