CAD file 3D printing question
chris watton replied to CPDDET's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
You may find it easier to rescale the parts once they're in STL format, and use the slicer program to scale. -

I would only ever add gratings if the drawings/plans I am working from show them (Assuming your post is directed at my products) - I much prefer, from a production point of view to have no gratings, as they take much longer to produce than flat decks/floors - but if the drawings I work from show them, then they have to be included. They certainly are not added just for the hell of it.

Kit review 1:25 Drakkar ‘Oseberg’ V3 - Ships of Pavel Nikitin
chris watton replied to James H's topic in REVIEWS: Model kits
I have had a few customers ask if I was ever going to develop such a vessel, Personally, I have little love for such a thing, so when I became aware of this amazing kit, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if I can stock them. I can say that shipping and import taxes are pretty steep though, which have to be added onto the retail cost. I have been told my shipment wil be ready in 5 weeks.- 14 replies

Usually, the prices shown on shop websites do not include the import duty/tax, that your government add, so you really need to take that into account.- 14 replies

OK, I finally have the 33 (and a bit) foot Royal/Admirals barge/shallop in stock. This main file went through a lot of changes before I was happy with the final print, so now, compared to the first file, this should be a lot easier to add the pear parts. 64th scale – length 158.5mm 48th scale – length 211.3mm 33′ Royal/Admiral’s Barge – VANGUARD MODELS All 3-d printed boats: https://vanguardmodels.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=17419&preview=true Here are some pics of the 48th scale version that Jim (Hatch) has just completed, he has done a great job! For this one, it will be all about the painting.. The base and cradles are included with this one (2mm Pear), as I thought some may want it as a standalone model, and those that would like if for their model ship can use the cradles only if they wish.

She does look great, Bob, and if I did such a job on her, I too would be very happy. I like nothing more than looking at the model when complete, or near completion, the lines, curves, decoration etc.

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.
