    Good progress made today on printing the underwater hull. One of the biggest problems is that the Azipods are so small - but managed to get them to work - prints a little bit stringy - but I think I can clean them up. 1:1000 version (which is 1/4 of the size of the big ship in this thread) now more or less complete - just need to do a final reporting tomorrow with the bow thruster props and stabilisers too.

    Thanks Javelin for the info - have updated the bow thrusters to add in motors that are on opposite side of propellors that turn in the same direction. Will add some grills too at some point

    Thanks for the feedback - have corrected the underside of the ship to a) Remove 3 thrusters, b) Swap the direction of some of the propellors, c) Aim the stabilisers slightly down. Have also included some Fusion 360 renders too
  7. Dave Wood
    Great thanks for the feedback and you are correct I thought those signs on the side mean't there were thrusters there, so will remove them. Plus will also angle the fins down a bit. Also I think I need to change the direction of the propellors too on one of the azipods and two of the remaining thrusters.

    Finally got round to modelling the underwater parts of Arvia - presented in this pictures underneath Iona - as I assume the two sisters are probably identical under the water. Not sure if I have got the proportions correct, shapes quite right, or whether I have missed any bits. Will probably just apply these additions to my 1:1000 versions initially. Got the shapes from various photos on Cruise Critic and YouTube. May contact yard as suggested a few months ago - with this pictures to see if they are willing to help with better pictures or plans.

    Finished. Might just add a few flags. Biggest problem now is finding somewhere suitable in the house to display it. IMG_8354.mov

    Quite pleased at how the high ropes etc. print came out - had to resort to thread to rescue a couple of failed sections - but maybe I should use it a little more for some other ropes.
  21. Dave Wood
    Closer to realistic high ropes now modelled, plus some corrections to deck 18 - not sure how well it is going to print though.
  22. Dave Wood
    Bit of yellow staining on some white parts - so should have increased flushing volumes, but will do for now. So that's all of deck 18 now complete. Might reprint though with a more sandy yellow colour filament if I can find a suitable one. Just deck 19 and funnel to go now.
  23. Dave Wood
    Finer details of onboard crazy golf coming along - quite please with roofs of little shacks - did it with a loft, which is shelled, then on one surface put some random sketch lines, then did pipes along each line. Then did a circular pattern to replicate the lines over each face.
  24. Dave Wood
    Now complete up to Deck17 - most of deck18 ready to go - just the high ropes and golf course to add detail to. Biggest issue is fixing Deck17 down - had hoped to do this deck with magnets - however proving difficult to get them to fit on the underside. Quite pleased how the Sun Beds came out.

    Just discovered this fantastic thread on Cruise Community. Arvia Construction wish I'd found it earlier - but will be very useful for later below waterline additions. Plus I think I will also try and break the 1:1000 version into real sections as they were delivered - might try making a video that intersperses the parts being delivered and then being built up one by one. Deck build up continuing to progress nicely - also interesting to see the difference in scale between this 1:250 model and the 1:1000 P&O Cruises Ventura model that I am also working on. Its a slightly smaller ship - but looks tiny compared to Ariva 250. Next stage is to Model more detail into Deck16 before I can print it- particularly the swim up bar at the back.
  26. Dave Wood
    Ship really starting to take shape.
  27. Dave Wood
    Sorry about that - mine didn't seem to appear at first, but it is now coming up in the 'Overview section' - just beneath 'content view behavour'

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.
