Found this video of uss iowa turret being rotated recently looks like about 90 seconds through 180 degrees from starboard to port -
Thanks for the printer names. I think my problem is I have a PLA printer so it cannot do fine details Should have listened to advice to buy Resin ...

Hi Chris may I ask what 3D printer you use? I have tried to print whaleboats for my Morgan but they are quite rough. it could be the printer or the STL file, not sure Colin

spectacular woodwork I feel like I am on the actual ship I like the fact you use wood from your property, I believe you mentioned early on

yes, the green metal table. No bike yet. wait till the spring since cant ride it over the winter looking at Kawasaki Eliminator 500 or the Vulcan S 650 (not sure about that one)

I had forgotten Dad made the gun barrels. I remember the fold-up picnic table in Dad's workshop[ with the keel laid out.

Been a while finished the main body of the windlass moving on to the pump handle also did the tops and started to build topmasta

Managed to do a bit of the mahogany layer on bottom over the summer going about it in a strange way likely but I find the flat bottom quite different to the usual ship hull 9I also had an idea to add the engine and have the compartment open spent time looking at Chris Craft engines from the late 1930’s seems to be inline 6 usually I searched for 3D inline 6 engines and found a few sinam printing sample parts to see if they will work gone back to my Morgan for a change of pace for now

Beautifully done Glen on my brother Ian’s ‘twigged’ it apparently is an informal British word meaning ‘to realize ‘ I did not realize it was not a common term either….. 🤔

I finished the balsa layer of planking. still some shaping to do then I move on to mahogany layer. i also put together the seats. I have been thinking of ordering faux leather or real thin leather for the seat cushions to make it look more interesting.

Well, after many attempts at 3D print I managed to make progress on the windlass and the foremast mast band i realized during this how far out if scale the belaying pins are on my model These would be baseball bats if not belaying ropes on my Morgan i may sand them smaller but then the pin rails would have giant holes ah well…

Update to my Tinkering with Tinkercad and 3D printing here’s a photo showing many trial prints and wood pieces along with the ‘skewer’ that has the current 3D parts i believe I still have some changes as I expected these parts to be a bit wide : suspect I messed up measurements somewhere I include photo from CWM herself

I completed the ‘floor’ planks the inner side planks have a difficult twist struggling a bit with those at the moment

I am working on balsa layer of planking i saw a picture of actual boat that shows the planking has a bit of an upward sweep at the shear as well as quite a weird shape at the bow , that deep cut or twist below the chines seen here not obvious in the instructiions

While I mull over what to do about 3D print of boats, I decided to stop stalling and get the windlass done. the parts in AL kit for this are real bad. I attach a photo i am modifying some of those parts and building it based on actual photos and my best guess Her3 is photo of some of the parts I completed so far. The drum at each end I whittled down from kit and shaped based on real ship. i also used my 3D printer for the ratchet gear in the centre of the windlass I am considering doing the main parts of the body with the metal pieces it wind the chain, still learning how to draw with Tinkercad et al so will see how it goes

Your galley is the coolest boat you have built, I have to say.

Wow! I had no idea you had a wood lathe i have been toying with getting a mini one but have nowhere to put it. it would be handy , also a mini tilt table saw but also lack of space the mast looks great

I think the layers also make it difficult to shape the sheer line swoop for lack of a better word from the side the hull drops down amidships

I have been experimenting with 3D printer for the boats I found a Beetle Whaleboat file on a 3D site and have printed a few at this scale the detail is rough though that may indicate my ‘rookie’ level ability with 3D printing My brother said to get resin printer which looks like good advice at the moment heres a couple samples from todays printing effort one with empty hull and one with seats etc also one showing scale beside Morgan i may print slightly larger, the empty shell could be the upside down spare or I may print all empties and fill in details with wood
-
Interesting that kit uses layers for the boats i have spent a lot of time looking at how to build boats the AL kit provided frames way too big and chunky and only a couple anyway i found a 3D file of Beetle whaleboat online but having difficulty experimenting with printing it at this scale i suspect the filament printer is not good at small detail and also I have only printed a few things for my son and his Milwaukee Packout tool system I will post the 3D soon on my CWM build if I get anything useful

I decided to begin yet another of the models on my shelf. it is a whaleboat of European origin, I assume i can work on this while glue dries on other models I am building 😬 here are some shots of building the frames
