Blocks, cannons and ships boats

[stevenba21]

Tried the blocks from Kevin at Ktl_model_shop on ebay and they are excellent. Made from a nice 3d printed wood coloured in various sizes. Also purchased his cannons and ships boats, all very well made and again in 3d printed. He will make custom sizes if you need them as he did for me.  https://ebay.us/m/JcJEF9

I regret to say that the cannon certainly is not a good example of a well made product.

I think the blocks could use a different material.  They have a transparent look.

Hello stevenba21, thank you for sharing your find!

 

I'm sure many members of this forum will find this information interesting and of value. What size/scale is the cannon?

Thanks for sharing this.   Considering upgrading the cannons on my current build.   I will check this KTL model shop a look.

Many thanks for the kind review Steven! What a strange cannon photo! If they really looked like that I wouldn't dream of selling them. For info, the guns bought by Steven are 1:100 scale, as are those in this photo. Even at 1:64 you would struggle to see layer lines, but of course, even with a lot of anti-aliasing, very small resin-printed parts will show layers if magnified enough.

 

 

 

Re' blocks, I think the colour variation across the piece might give an impression of translucence but it is actually a deliberate effect.

Carronades with the screw elevation look good!

Thanks! At 1:100 the screw is 0.6mm diameter and really is a thread, not just a series of rings. The level of detail available with resin printing is incredible.
