    Found a set of 3D files on www.cgtrader.com designed by bensworx.

    I have printed most of the parts, know and has started to assemble it.

    It will be big model Length 4ft and beam 1.05ft the four hull parts took a total of 10 days to print.

    Hull is printed in 0.2layers so some sanding and filler is needed to get it where it should be. Other parts has been printed at 0.16 and 0.12 layer thickness. Crew and some other parts that should be smooth and not easy to sand, will be printed on a resin printer.

    Back in business more or less I couldn't sand the hull down in the garage due to other stuff going on there, so had to wait for good weather.

    Have to balance this project between my job and another project (not model boat related)
    Did managed to get first layer of P100 on 2/3 of the hull and it's now curing in the good weather.

    πŸ“ Stand 50cal. and crew

    Have been running my resin printer for a few days now, so the .50cal's has been done and some crew figures is ready for processing and paint. Also made a stand for it, just cheap 18mm shelf pine and 2 pieces of 28mm pine that were laying in the workshop, stained as teak and 4 layers of Junkers ship varnish should do it πŸ‘

    πŸ“ Gun and engine deck

    Had to re-print the ammo boxes incl. lids and engine hatch as they were to small for the holes in the deck, now I'm happy that i bought a Bambu Lab X1C, so they were printed in 0.08mm layer-height at high speed, reducing the amount of sanding needed.
    Did the cowl-vents in resin for a better surface quality, ohh they are so smooth.
    The day-cabin has been sanded lightly and a layer of fin model filler has been added, last pic. show a test fitting, the 50cal. gun turret needs some sanding as the resolution in the file is low
