Few weeks back I finished this model. It is based on Print RC Dream company's kit which is completely 3D printed. Scale is 1/75.

What a beautiful model, and not one you come across every day, Moxis! Did you manage to get her to float?

 

[Moxis]

Thanks Jim! Yes, the model is working and radio controlled. Has 3 motors, one for each propeller.

A video of that would be wonderful — if it's possible, of course!

Perhaps later. We have still winter here and all lakes are frozen. (No, just kidding. It is almost summer, temperatures around 20 C)

I just had a look at their website and noticed they sell 3D files as well as printed kits, pretty interesting! Since you've already printed yours, I'm curious — did you use a filament or resin printer? And did you need to tweak any of the files to get them working with your setup? How did the print quality turn out? Is it too much to ask?

I do not own a 3D printer but bought a complete kit of printed parts. The quality of parts was very good and they match with each other perfectly. Only some very thin railings & ladders were a bit twisted so I had to scratch build them using thin styrene rod.

Considering the parts, this is how they look when supplied. Also the hull is printed in 4 sections which must be glued and bolted together to get it watertight.

I will look at the web site too. Very nice ship.

Congratulations, Ragnar

Thank you Ragnar!

Very Nice! RC adds a whole other dimension to modeling.

Thank you Mister CA! You are right, this model is awesome in it's wet atmosphere. But for some reason I haven't yet taken her in water.

A really great build well done.
