    Beautiful work! And welcome aboard.

    Yes, Pat's scratch build. Can I use the STL's you sent me? I plan on my build being at a smaller scale. In your opinion, how much smaller of a scale is possible to get these parts made? Pats model is 1:12 scale.

    Can anyone provide a reliable source for 3D printing?

    Was able to unzip and open files in FreeCad program. Will follow up later with a few more questions.

    OK, looks like I'm going to take a step back and ask for some help. First off I don't have a way to open the STEP file to see what's in it. At this point I'm assuming that the file is actually for the parts pictured in my original post. So lets start there. Can anyone suggest a program (hopefully a free one) that will allow me to open the file or is anyone willing to open the file for me to see exactly what's in it? I could email the file to anyone who would be willing do this. Dave

    This subject is way out of my sandbox but hoping I can gain some insight. I have a CAD file for some ships parts. This file was created by someone else but they have made it available for anyone online. The file is for 3d printing of several parts of Hemingways fishing boat, Pilar. However his build was for 1/12 scale pieces and my build will be either 1/24 or 1/27. Can the person, or company, 3d printing these resize them if I tell them the scale or percent size needed? Is there a source that can be recommended for the actual 3d printing service? Here in image of the pieces I need to have printed. Any help is much appreciated.

    I used a satin wipe on poly for the deck of my bluenose and was very pleased with the outcome.

    A perfect way to begin what could out to be a life long hobby. Congrats for choosing the right path!

    Watco also makes a fine assortment of wipe on finishes.

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.
