    Ange, I truly like the build log of yours, very nice done and having Atlantic as a comparison model for size. I have Constructos America on hold, hoping to give her the same love and attention you have done to yours.

    Radek at HiSModel.com and the decks seems to be superior to the deck I got. Besides he also offer so much more of aftermarket items for the ship.

    Bill, here is the link from AL with the plans for download. There are four of them. You need to download the jpg's and save to a thumb drive, then take it to a print shop. They will be able to print them at 100% as the pre-view are at approx. 30% Good luck with the build.

    Andrew, my best welcome greeting to you.... trying to outshine the other greetings....😆 Don't know if I did so, but now you are one of us. Hope to see your build log soon.

    Witam, warm welcome to Model Ship World. The 3d printed steam ship SS Venture seems like a fun project. Did you have to scale it up? And yes, even I have ordered Paper card models from Poland. Mine are from JSC, got the Swedish fleet.

    Piero, is that a version of Peter? Anyway, a warm . I am glad you have your ship (or part of a ship) narrowed down. And it's never too late to fall in love again. Since I didn't know exactly where you are located, I looked it up...... and I have to give to you. It's just stunning beautiful! I am in awe. (For all other members look up this location, I could spend a lot of time there)

    Ed, just stunning! So, I take you will get going with Rattlesnake soon.

    Very well done! Congrats to the final! Now what is remaining is a case!

    Ken, a warm

    Paint job is much of a guess work with little history of ships of the time era. Thank you, Andrew, for the encouraging words.

    Side turrets almost put together but all painted.

    New ESC's was ordered yesterday. New computer TX to be ordered today. Sadly, I have had such a great experience with the Spektrum brand (yes, it's expensive) but that's what I am going again.
  13. Nirvana
    Working with ESC and not checking polarity can be hazardous, as I experienced. Burned out one of them. And I also learned the motors has a tremendous torque. Today I am working more on the details, painting and assembling of turrets. Outdoor temperature makes the curing time very short. Each turret and cannon consist of 8 parts.

    Härligt att se en svensk idyll komma till liv. Ser bra ut. Nice to see a small iconic small town coming to life. Looks good.

    Joe, yes you are right. The filament can be made of various material, PLA currently most common for hobby purpose. All the filament will be extruded and heated before being "plated".

    I wish could push several buttons, both wow and like. Anyway that is looking amazing.
  17. Nirvana
    Strange things do happen..... Well, SW is available at 99/year or 9.99/month. SolidWorks link here. Considering to try it out.
  18. Nirvana
    Too bad Solidwork isn't cheaper or I would get it. Went to their website to check it out. EAA has removed the amazing discount link they used to have.
  19. Nirvana
    Can't see the pictures. Shows only download.

    I was lucky some weeks ago when co-workers of my Admiral were moving to Nevada this leaving a large portable A/C unit behind for a fraction of original cost. Now I cool my workshop area during the short hot season. I do have windows facing south and west.

    An amazing tool to use. Works like a charm! And you can make very thin strips.

    Alan, the auto-leveling of creality is not good. I belong to a forum and most of the members are not happy with it. Go with a new Swiss metal extruder and new tubing.
  23. Nirvana
    Ed, that is beautiful work. Almost finished!
  24. Nirvana
    I have seen information she had both type of bottom treatment. I think the copper sheathing was removed prior her race to make her lighter. Creating realistic copper sheathing is very tricky. Reading from an instruction of building America " finishing the bottom, you might well consider painting the bottom with copper paint rather than coppering with overlapping plates as was the original America. Very few modelers have ever done coppering job that looked like the real ships coppering scaled down - and this includes many professionals. Underhills and Davis books will good guidance if going with copper plating. I painted my hull with copper.

    I didn't understand any word what was said in the video. No CC was available for me, just word and music. But I get it that the Sherline; even the cheapest one is a much better starter as this can be upgraded further and further, when your economy allows.
