There are no deck guns on modern subs as far as I know. Gotta go back to WW2 for those.

Cluttered? Are you kidding? I see room for lots more stuff in there. It's not packed to the ceilings (yet) like mine.

I am slowly (very slowly) working up the courage to take on a paper ship model due to Dan's beautiful work. Although I am totally aware he's making the difficult look easy when it's really not. The clean, neat finish of his models are remarkable. It's hard to believe it's paper.

What a great looking printer that Folger FT5. I never heard of it until now. Looks very beefy and precise. Really like that auto level feature. Does it ship from the USA, or China?

You curse, I cuss. With my best southern drawl, it's pronounced "cuss". The "r" is silent.

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

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.

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!

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?
