Bushnell’s Turtle. Revolutionary war submersible. 1:35 3D design and print

Why is there no camera setting for " make my model look as good as I thought it did"? Gah.

Because the camera knows about us, the members here of SOS...... your painting work is looking great
for me it is looking extremely realistic - I have the feeling, that you can even smell the grease, oil, sweat, and feel the high humidity inside of such an egg

I've been following the same thread since inception over on Kitmaker Network, but didn't realize you were posting here as well. It's been a lot of fun watching this evolve.

Mr. Mousemuffins,
I must say that I usually don't go over plastic model forums but today I was a tad bored and decided to give it a whirl. I came across your build log and enjoyed every post. The attention to detail on this build and your extremely funny comments has had me eagerly going from one post to the next. I look forward to more build updates while sittting with anticipation at what you may say next.

Should prolly do an Instagram thingy too.

Pricing looks like being approximately $80 usd + $10 post worldwide. (free post in Australia) for the 1:32. Not sure on the 1:16 yet.

Not sure of appropriate forum etiquette for selling things. or indeed how I will sell them. or where.

arrrgh.

First Full Kit all laid out!
Well, almost. There's one more print to go with the snorkels, top port hole, propellers and auger. oh. and some clear acrylic porthole windows.
Just have to get these instructions done and figure out a box.

 

[Mousemuffins]

hhhmmmm..... walnutty.



I’m looking to have between ten and twenty kits ready to go in the first week or two of January. A website with a shopping cart and stuff is being worked on.

 

[Mousemuffins]

sssoooooooo close.

Final edits done.

Production started.

Boxes ordered.

Instructions well advanced.

Also piccies.

Harry Houdini on the ewe toobs has done a very flattering Preview for me.

Go have a look!

 

[Jimsky]

Pretty nice presentation from Harry.

 

[Mousemuffins]

I thought so. He's going to do a full build too.

 

[Mousemuffins]

Boxes, Stickers, Stencils! Oh My!
Getting there. Would be getting there faster, except my printer has thrown it's toys out of the pram and needs a replacement screen.
The screen is a consumable, and is expected to fail eventually, and I had been meaning to order a spare for just in cases. Only now it's not just in case.
Anyhoo, it's on the way. If Amazon can get it here by Friday, we are looking at an early next week release.
I should have approximately 18 kits available then.

 

[Uwek]

My congratulations for finishing this amazing development and I cross all the fingers for the final release

 

[Mousemuffins]

Thanks!

A Plethora of Perfectly Printed Pumps Pertinent to our Purposes.

Spare parts Arrived! eventually. Anyhoo, production back in full swing, and, if everything goes well, kits will be available on the weekend sometime.


Oh. Also Rope!

Sincere congratulations for this masterpiece.

 

[Mousemuffins]

Thanks! can't ask for a better French accent than that.

 

[Mousemuffins]

look how Pretty this rope is! Ropes of Scale FTW.



...I've used an anchor bend to secure the line. Hope that's historically sensible.

 

[BenD]

What a cool little kit. I love that it comes apart to show off the insides.

Nice rope
