La Renommée 1744 Stern

[WojtasS]

Hello

Some couple of month passed since I last posted something. I've been busy with finishing rest of decorations of La Renommée.
Now I can finally show my results. Since this is a 3d-printable model it will take some time to test print and fit everything together.
The reason it took so much time is I needed also a compatible hull even for a stern section only. I made some prototypes for testing, but results weren't satisfying enough.
I had to really squise potential from Blender and made a loft of hull in one program without any other CAD software. It turns out with enough addons blender
has enough CAD-like functions to properly loft a hull.

Now I have a dilema wether should I make another 3d-print stern model or should I complete at least hull. I miss working with wood, but on other side is bringing back to life
beatiful ships existing only on drawings.










Lofting a hull is not enough now I needed to finish it somehow. I didn't want to have entire hull 3d printed-too long printing time and I have only resin printer.
I managed to design something in between, hybrid of sort. Lower body benteeth 1st deck is laser cut plywood, upper is 3d print with all the fancy curves of ship already established









Other dilema I have if I decide to go with the hull. Should I make La Renommée or her sister ship La Comete

This is so impressive! To create the files to allow these to be printed as a single unit must be lots and lots of work! Wow!

Dzięki. Staram sie jak mogę

Podpowiadaj. Każda rada się przyda

Lots of test prints. That's why I divided stern on two halves. Can't wait to put them together

Respect and admiration!

Respect and admiration!

Thnak you. If all goes well this project will be one of many.


Dry fitting at this stage can be a little dangerosus, but shows all mistakes

Cześć No i jak pomysły? Znalazłes rozwiazanie jaki kadłub itd? Bo coś nie widzę by chcizł ktoś coś mądrego Ci podpowiedzieć... Ja bym wybrał to co prostsze (La comete, Renommee) bo i tak się przy tym naharałeś
Pozdrawiam

To jest cieżki temat oraz skomplikowany model Czesław. Nikt nie zaproponuje Wojtkowi rozwiazania, ze wzgledu na fakt że model tego typu jest innowacyjny, i wymaga bardzo dużo nakladu pracy.

This is a difficult topic and a complicated model, Czesław. No one will propose a solution to Wojtek due to the fact that this type of model is innovative and requires a significant investment of both time and money.

 

[WojtasS]

Jest ok. Później umieszczę zdjęcia. Na razie wszytko idzie w dobrym kierunku. Potrzeba tylko czasu na testy

Everything's fine. Post photos later. For now, everything's going well. I just need time for testing.

Fantastic! Your skills in CAD are remarkable. When do you anticipate finishing? It's wonderful.

 

[Winova]

Most amazing ! I have built a couple of wooden kits but the rest
of my models are plain Ole scratch built wooden ships.
I envy your work have no idea what 3D printing is all about
.and never will have, I ve no time left to learn such methods
as I am 93 years old , too old to teach myself new tricks , so to speak.
I wish you every success in your 21st century modeling
techniques as well as I do others , keep up the good work you are
doing . Looks like we are at a new era in shipmodeling.
Cheers Winova

Thank you design is almost finished. I'm in tweeking and testing part

Thank you for kind words. 3d print is only a support, model will still be made of wood. It's just more sophisticated alternative to POB kits.
I still enjoy working with wood; computer design is just one part of the process of making a ship model. I'm not just going to print the model in resin and paint it.
I may use some resin accessories, but 95% of it will still be wood.

 

[WojtasS]

As I mentioned earlier, I'm in the testing phase. Right now, I'm focusing more on making sure everything fits together properly with no gaps or mismatches.
I finished printing upper part of resin hull, next in line are inserts on bow and plywood decks. Unfortunetly not everything goes as planned - I needed to do some tweeking in laser as it wasn't able to cut through 6mm plywood, but now I'm waiting for new material as what I have isn't good enough





I also started testing 1/72 scale

 

[Jeffrey Modell]

1) What is the scale?
2) Is this for your own scratch build or a kit design?

Beautiful!

Thanks.

Are you using a Filament or resin printer?
