    Deck13 reprinted - this time with the correct balcony height, retractable roof tiles showing and domes now printing well. Will probably leave the rest of the decks for now as most of the faults are invisible to my naked eye - and only really show up on close ups.
  4. Dave Wood
    Pretty much every part needed tweaking to overcome minor issues - so complete reprint will be required. Am going on the real ship in a few weeks - so might wait until after the trip before doing the reprint - in case any further corrections identified. Most significant correction is deck13 balconies - which didn't have enough height in the first print - so will reprint deck 13 at lease now. Also created a transport / magnetic display adaptor for QM2 to make it easier to take onto real ship.

    First test print complete - the first time I think I have ever used full colour for the first test print - deck 13 came out pretty well - just two of the radar balls didn't quite work. A fair number of updates required - but overall quite happy with the ship so far.
  7. Dave Wood
    Almost complete - just deck 13 to go. Hull + Deck6 Deck7 Deck8 Deck9 Forgot life boats part of Deck7 - so had to take it apart again to add them + Deck10 Deck11 Deck12 With part printed Deck13 - which I had to cancel due to misalignment of black Close up of back - a bit mess - so some beefing up of railings needed. Middle - some balcony glass issuesFront - problem with Cunard text and a few balcony glass issues. More work required - but fairly pleased so far. Just need deck 13 print to complete - which is about 3hrs in total.

    1:1000 version of Model now fully sliced. - 11 colours in total. 0.2mm sections - total projected print time 16h4m. - plates 5,6,7 to go - so about 11h more printing to go. 0.4mm sections - 9h24m - plates 2 & 3 to go - about 6.5hrs more printing to do.

    Multi Colour mostly 0.2mm Nozzle looking quite good. Deck6,8 & 9 aft shown - Deck7 all at 0.2mm still to be printed (will make about 5hrs) Life boats and centre sections and main part of Hull printed 0.4mm
  17. Dave Wood
    Started 1:1000 print. I am print some parts - with small details like railing and text on a BambuLab H2D with 0.2mm nozzles. With the less detailed parts on a BambuLab X1C. Tiny text Tiny detail - in initial 2 colour test print of deck6 Aft Whole ship so far. Using this approach for the 1:1000 model will hopefully mean I can in the first instance simply print the exact same model at 1:500 scale but all on 0.4mm nozzles, split down into smaller parts when print size does not allow it to fit.
  18. Dave Wood
    More details added - plus short video showing how the decks appear in Fusion 360.
  19. Dave Wood
    With Queen Victoria
  20. Dave Wood
    Further refinements made - see here for 360 degree render.

    Not far off now, only basic funnel added so far.
  23. Dave Wood
    Found I had got the decks confused at the front - had put the observation deck in one too low - so windows were all wrong too. Now corrected.
  24. Dave Wood
    Quite a lot of work done on front
  25. Dave Wood
    Quite a few improvements made to rear of decks, plus deck 9 now coming along

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.
