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.

More details added - plus short video showing how the decks appear in Fusion 360.
-
Further refinements made - see here for 360 degree render.

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.

Made a start yesterday on QM2 Multi Colour 3d printed model - will design it for 1:500 initially, then scale down to 1:1000 Modelling from deck plans from Cunard site and various photos, using Fusion 360. Will then Muti colour 3d print on a BambuLab X1C or H2D. Hull shape needs a bit of work. Will mirror it once a few more decks are done.

Sea Cloud Multi Colour with a few lights for rigging.
-
Ship with some of its earlier prototypes before they are melted down - see this video for details of how I recycle my old prints.
-
Some time lapses of the 3d prints
-
After correct colour masts added and initial cleanup. Will probably do a version will fuller sails, plus might even create a 1943 'grey' version. Pictured with rest of 3d printed 1:250 fleet
-
Almost complete -
-
Multi Colour print now ready to start. Will print masts and sails separately - as otherwise the colour changes between white and brown will take almost 2 days. 50% printed
-
After some improvements to the supports back half printed almost perfectly. Not sure whether to rig it with thread or wire - looks quite nice with LED light strings.
-
First complete print - still a bit messy - but getting closer In printer Up closer For scale - size comparison with P&O Arvia 1:250
-
Print came out fairly well - but a few tweaks required Masts swayed a bit while printing - so going to try to see if some temporarily horizontal stabilisers help too
-
Supports now applied to all sails, and ship now properly split into 2 sections for printing single colour at a scale of 1:250. Next step is a single colour test print of the rear half.
-
Making progress on Sea Cloud 3d print - initial single colour attempt at 3d print (without enough supports). Adding some custom supports seems to have fixed the issue
-
came across the rest of the Sea Cloud fleet in Lanzarote last week (while on Cunard Queen Victoria) - Sea Cloud Spirit See Cloud 2 From Queen Victoria (pictured in Madeira with one of my other models)
