    Have you started cussin' yet? Those parts flying all over the room are enough to make a preacher cuss.

    You're doing great Popeye. Enjoy the journey, you're not in a race.

    And if the use of it is dedicated to smaller parts where greater precision is desirable, cost of material becomes much less an issue. Very interesting indeed.

    Beyond the initial cost of those resin printers, there's the whole big issue of safe handling of the resin, respirators, etc. I have no concept for how much resin material would be required for a project. A liter of it is going for around $70 on Amazon. I had no idea one could buy an SLA printer for something in the $500 range. That's surprising.

    I made a 1st time visit to a 3D Printing super store in my area yesterday. Wow, the printers and related materials/hardware they have there is astounding. Got quite a crash course in 3D printing from the friendly staff. There were incredible examples of all sorts of 3D printing with everything from simple to exotic mediums. The prices of the high end printers is extreme, but then again, producing prototype parts is an expensive proposition any way you look at it.

    I have too many irons in the fire to join in right now. This 3D printer has me jumping through a lot of hoops.

    I think you will like the Liberty Ship. Wish I had spent more time detailing my copy. Just threw it together and painted it, no rigging, no photo etch...and it still looks decent. Could be a great model if proper care to detail is given.

    Yes, I agree with Greg, Cog. Outstanding work. Neat, clean, and professional.
  9. CDW
    Agreed. Don't think it's wise to put too much emphasis on correct color using film that's made so deep under water like that with all the issues of light and shadows.

    Oh yes, she's got lines like the Italian battleships....beautiful! She's a real eye-catcher for me.

    Mighty, mighty fine, Capt. Popeye. You are going to have some nimble fingers when all that photo etch gets through with you. Wow!

    Stellar work, Greg.

    I don't know, Neal, but whatever you're doing with your settings, it sure is precise-looking to me. Curious to know what nozzle size you're using now and what size you've set for lines. Are you using 1.75 filament?

    And I have a 21 year old daughter who is still the pickiest eater I've ever seen. Guess she's still my kid.

    You have something to learn, Mr Cog.

    Nightshade is particularly poisonous and deadly to cattle. When I was young, my father would walk our pasture to point out the nightshade to me. He then explained it would kill our cattle as they would readily eat it. He would quickly remove it once he saw it.

    Yes, it is where I come from.

    In the USA capsicum is called "bell pepper". I had to google capsicum to learn what it was. Never heard it called that before now.
  19. CDW
    That's some beautiful and inspirational 3D print work, Neal.

    If you ever dropped one of those torpedo door covers on the floor...fugettaboutit. It would be history. Great job so far, Popeye.
  21. CDW
    Nice start, Popeye. Good grief, those parts are so tiny. Your guests will need super-vision to see your finished work when they visit your home.
  22. CDW
    Greg, you just keep getting better, more better, and more better good with your airbrushed hulls. You've really developed the talent and paint combinations for weathering, shading, and highlighting.
  23. CDW
    I've got to try their gloss when I get a chance. My LHS doesn't carry it and I haven't thought to order some.
  24. CDW
    It has much to do with airbrush fouling and paint spattering. Vallejo is not user friendly.
  25. CDW
    Inspirational work, Piet. Just beautiful.

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.
