highlanderburial Posted July 22 Share #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. mcb, GrandpaPhil, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted July 22 Share #2 Posted July 22 St. Louis' sister ship, USS Milwaukee (CL-21), stranded on the beach at Samoa, California, in 1917 while trying to tow off a stranded submarine. 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. ccoyle, mtaylor and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
