  1. Not us Keith, but the dispute in general, whether the modeler could use a 3D printer, or he/she must use his/her own skills and tools to model the subject. The PRO-3D folks (including you, Ian and me) says it is just another tool. The CON-3D guys says that 3D printing is just programming and anybody could produce a fine model just behind a monitor whilst he/she could be totally untalented, don't need to understand the ship in general. They thinks 3D printing is not a work.
  2. I think the torpedo tubes are bullseye hit. See them here http://combinedfleet.com/torps.htm
  3. I think this dispute is as old as the 3D printing in modeling industry. I agree with Ian too - this is just a tool. It is helping you to get the same, or even better result. Someone building the pieces from Evergreen slices or rods, someone fabricating them from excess pieces of plastic. The only important thing is the final result on the ship. If we're talking about artistic sculptor talent and patience thats another topic i guess. Personally i find an accurate 3D model as attractive (artistic) as a sculpted one. Just different working hours invested into it.
  4. Don't forget to put a coin under the mast, Yves. Neat work.
  5. Well done Chris, lovely model! Im sure your craftmanship inspire some newbies to cardboard modelling.
  6. From the XXXL Chaconia to the XS dredger - with same precision. Extraordinary, Roel. ...and how i hated the same Dell Latitude laptop when i had one Now a newer model i have and it is even worse, i started loving the old one.
  7. Phil, here is a few pictures of a shipmodel from a russian page. This might help with the ropes. https://karopka.ru/community/user/23019/?MODEL=629020
  8. Apart from this is really need research, i don't think that sponge thing. Ancient Romans were surrounded the Mediterranean where natural sponges was plenty. But in cold seas this feature should prove damn expensive, and sailors weren't so refined to allow themselves such luxury. I guess they clean their parts once a day, maybe twice a week? Bathing by saltwater, using a bucket, no more.
  9. Oh thats smart. I always did the shrouds first, one by one, then attach the crows nest or crosstree - but your method is more efficient than mine.
  10. If i remember well, someone built a ship from the same era which named Pelican and renamed later to Golden Hind (i know the differences though ) So at the forecastle's bottom holes (pun intended) would be sufficient i guess. The only difference that Mary Rose's sailors could enjoy the heads in rain as they are covered by the forecastle.
