Figurines

Wow, those look great. !!
So when you print them is it easy to select the correct scale to match the ship’s scale?

Is it possible for me to use these models?
 
This post is in the “It’s worth what you paid for it category” and I have no connection financial with the company financial or otherwise. Vanguard (British ship model company) sells Nelson Era Royal Navy figures in common modeling scales.

More excellent stuff! Thank you!

I grabbed a few months ago, though I would love to get more, and certainly the new ones.
 
you guys are killing me. i wish i could 3d print but i dont have the technology... plus i wouldnt have any other use for it. my 1851 1:96 clipper would look awsome with life onboard. perhaps 6 or so men would do just fine. what a difference it makes, bring the model to life.

if i could find someone here, usa, with a printer that could do this for me, id gladly pay for the service?
 
Rokket,

I start using Blender to make the figures. But then the website titancraft.com came into the air, what a relief and simplicity program to make figures with this.
Its a web based program free to use, but many items are not free. In the program you can set a filter to see the only free items, and you can already make many figures with that.
The cost of the items is not too bad, sometimes only $ 0.75 for an item that you can always use free afterwards. There are so-called packs for sale that contain a number of items from a certain theme that you can always use.
I myself bought the pirate asset pack for $ 18. It contains more than 60 items that can be used well in our model building.
You must create an account to download files.
With this program you can therefore make figures with different clothing, appearance and posture.
Sometimes I also use blender to make some extra adjustments in the figures, for example to put them in a certain curvature or ad items to them.
Adjusting posture is done in the pose tab and advanced control.

For printing I use the program Chitubox basic which is free.
With this program you can easily provide the figures with supports that are necessary for printing and you can create the slice file for your printer.
I now have some figures on my website in a folder that can be downloaded, but I will remove them soon. The creators of the titancraft program should be rewarded for their efforts. There is a possibility to share the figures through this program, whereby you would then have to purchase the non-free items.

If builders also start using this program, I hope they will also share their figures via titancraft.
Nice to see you around here Bert. You make very nice figurines.
