highlanderburial Posted July 22 #1 Posted July 22 So I have been playing the game World of Warships for quite sometime and I have been begging them to release some of their warship files so people could print and model them. Last year they did just that with the 1905 USS St. Louis CL 20. It is a 426 fool US armored cruiser which fought in WWI and was built in Philadelphia, PA. I have been printing for some time but this is the first full on ship print I have attempted. I just got a very good new Fused Deposit Material (FDM) printer and it is working wonders on printing the parts for me to assemble so far. Azzoun, GrandpaPhil, NavyShooter and 4 others 7 Quote

The submarine, H-3, was subsequently hauled over the North Jetty of Humboldt Bay, refloated, and eventually placed back in service.

This design has kind of grown on me since I started. mtaylor, ccoyle and Canute 3 Quote
