Unknown Model ship 3D printable project

[Wonko the Sane]

Definitely my most challenging Plasticity creation so far (beginning stage shown).... Concept for a Ship section that I will 3D print in PLA and Resin (for smaller parts) and turn the canons out of brass... Photo off the internet but don't know the ship. Also some artistic license.... Will make the STL files available on completion. Can obviously be scaled but I am aiming at a 16" high model

Interesting project - and you said already: "some artistic license" .. Nevertheless: I would close that lowest gun port - as t would be below the water line. There are other issues in your design.

But the question is of course: what´s your goal?  

Your title still leave a lot of room for interpretation of how deep in realism you want to end up? 

 

That ship shown here is interesting. A 3-decker for sure. 

What I noticed: iron stiffeners at the knees and there seem to be strengthening frames on top of the inner planking in the hull. 
I don´t know enough about the 3-deckers.. but I guess the shape of the hull is not a French design (at least in smaller units they had a less "round" profile).

A very flat bottom... Hm.. Could it be HMS Victory? Would of course be the most likely one, right? Worlds most famous 3-decker ...

Hi Marcus

 

The goal is to integrate 3D printing, model building and metal machining into a single showcase for the disciplines...Therefore not to much detail as regards to a particular ship...

 

Thanks for the feedback
