druxey Posted June 23, 2023 #4 Posted June 23, 2023 48 hours? That must be an extremely high resolution! Canute and mtaylor 2 Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
Nirvana Posted June 24, 2023 Author #5 Posted June 24, 2023 It has... the surface will require very little after-work prior painting. But 16 days of effective printing that's a long time. However, I have seen even longer printing time, towards 80 hours. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and Canute 2 1 Please, visit our Facebook page!

Hoffmann Posted December 14, 2024 #7 Posted December 14, 2024 Hi. I found this post while I was searching for a model of HMS Halland. My father served onboard Halland in the 80's. And he has a whole wall in his house with pictures of Halland and other Swedish navy ships and I thought a 3d-printed model would have been perfect there. Is there any possibility to get the model? Best regards. Björn mtaylor 1
