Dave Wood Posted August 19 Share #1 Posted August 19 I have started today on a 3d model for 3d printing of Sea Cloud - this 1931 ship is pictured by me last year in Malaga and Cadiz. (from P&O Cruises Azura). The design will be done in Autodesk Fusion 360 and then printed multi colour on a 3d printer. This will be my first sailed ship and previous cruise ship models I have produced are all more recent ships. First prototype picture of a test ship with sail attached too. Background info on the ship here - with pictures of the ship in full sail and details of its fairly long history. https://www.seacloud.com/en/sea-cloud/ My most recent conventional cruise ship model is here - this is a 1:500 version of Cunard Queen Victoria. This ship is about 300m long and the model about 60cm long - vs Sea Cloud being 109m long - so the 1:250 Sea Cloud model will be about 2/3 of the length of this model or about 42cm. Might decide to increase the scale a bit if the detail proves challenging to model/print at 1:250. ccoyle, KeithAug, yvesvidal and 1 other 4 Quote Dave Wood Current Builds - Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady 1:500 (BL), Sea Cloud 1:250 (MSW), Celebrity Apex 1:500, P&O Cruises Britannia 1:500 Previous Builds - P&O Cruises whole fleet at various scales (1:1000, 1:500, 1:250) (MSW,BL) ., TUI River Cruise Skyla 1:250, 1:500 (FB), V V Resilient Lady 1:1000, Celebrity Apex 1:1000 (BL) Future Build Plans - Cunard Queen Mary2, MV Africa Mercy (WP), P&O Cruises Oceana, RCL Oasis Class Ship.

Dave Wood Posted August 20 Author Share #3 Posted August 20 Tried a test print of the little sail at the top of the front mast to see if it would be practical at 1:250 scale. Came out pretty well. Illustration of the size of the ship at 1:250 scale compared to build plate - so should only need to split it once in the middle. Lots more detail to add - especially the ropes, windows, doors and deck furniture. yvesvidal 1 Quote Dave Wood Current Builds - Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady 1:500 (BL), Sea Cloud 1:250 (MSW), Celebrity Apex 1:500, P&O Cruises Britannia 1:500 Previous Builds - P&O Cruises whole fleet at various scales (1:1000, 1:500, 1:250) (MSW,BL) ., TUI River Cruise Skyla 1:250, 1:500 (FB), V V Resilient Lady 1:1000, Celebrity Apex 1:1000 (BL) Future Build Plans - Cunard Queen Mary2, MV Africa Mercy (WP), P&O Cruises Oceana, RCL Oasis Class Ship.

Dave Wood Posted August 21 Author Share #4 Posted August 21 (edited) Quite good progress today on 3d model. Need to do some more work on the sails and add more details - but might try some test prints before going too much farther.

Dave Wood Posted August 25 Author Share #9 Posted August 25 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.
