  1. More details added - plus short video showing how the decks appear in Fusion 360.
  2. 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.
  3. Quite a few improvements made to rear of decks, plus deck 9 now coming along
  4. 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.
  5. Ship with some of its earlier prototypes before they are melted down - see this video for details of how I recycle my old prints.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. First complete print - still a bit messy - but getting closer In printer Up closer For scale - size comparison with P&O Arvia 1:250
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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)
  14. Has been wrestling with what to do about the ropes - whether to 3d print them etc. - Decided in the first instance to try making them out of copper wire led strings - The wires are doubled up and are about 0.25mm diameter - with the led's about 100mm apart. Should like quite good hopefully. Example render attached. Day time Night time
