The United States will celebrate 250 years of independence on July 4, 2026, marking the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Centered around the theme "America 250," nationwide festivities include major celebrations on the National Mall and international maritime parades Sail250 . Who new? Check out the website to see what ships will be near you on the 4th. For ships model builders it would be a great vacation to plan.

My New 3D printable 1776 Workers were created for a model builder friend of mine for the Model Shipways USF CONFEDERACY 1778 1:64 scale Admiralty Style ship model. Since the model is an admiralty style and looks like a ship being built, he wanted ship builders of that time period. The set includes 7 workers, 1 designer/shipwright, and 1 admiral. You get 4 STL files: Group A workers and Group B workers at 1:32 scale (3/8 inch to the Foot). Non-supported and scalable. And STL files 1:64 (3/16 inch to the Foot) scale Group A & B with supports scalable. The 1776 3D printable workers could be scaled up and used for dioramas celebrating 250 years of independence. Available on Cults3D shop CarlWhittenArtist.
