oui je pense que je pourrais envoyer les pièces en France, cela prendrait un certain temps pour tout imprimer, peut-être 2-3 mois

well, according to wikipedia, the length of the Katahdin was 76.43 meters... My model of the Katahdin is one meter long 😃 I agree, it's very similar to a submarine - given that it's purpose was to ram ships below the water line having very low freeboard would give the Katahdin the a better chance at piercing the hull below the water line (if it could actually catch up to a ship to do so!)

As for the actual length in 1/72 scale it’s almost exactly 1 meter long

Hi yvesvidal, the Katahdin model is 1/72 scale - it’s noticeably longer than one would expect . on the topic of files I’m just a bit shy to share them - but I could send the parts - it goes together rather quickly kid of like a matryoshka doll ! what I haven’t shown is how the access panel is removed.

oh yeah the Vesuvius is very interesting ship! gotta love the Dynamite gun !!!
-
Well Dr. Per hull is already printed, motors and shafts installed with props - I’ll post a picture tomorrow 😎

Okay here's another one from the Spanish American war that that I find very interesting: The USS Katahdin did serve during the war - there's a good Wikipedia article about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Katahdin_(1893) While it's pretty common to see a model of the Katahdin painted in white.... in actuality it was painted a green color so as to blend into the color of the water. I've already 3d printed out the hull and various other parts...

Hi JSK - what program are you using? delft ship? one of the things about the Brooklyn was it was the first US navy ship that used electrically driven main gun turrets instead of steam powered turrets - Haze Grey

I'm a big fan of the ships from the Spanish-American war period. I'm most of the way through the design but still have more to do on the superstructure and other odds and ends. if you like ships from the Spanish-American war period post a reply and tell me your favorite ship! - Haze Grey

Hi Folks, I know it's been a while since I update the progress of the USS Panay - so adding some photos here for those that are interested. I still have a far amount of work to do but I'll get there eventually!
