Hi!
Shipyard publisher already has unwrapped template for these details:

So I just added extra spaces around
Thats original view:

On thingiverse you can find painting.zip and painiting.svg vector file which has 1:96 scale
You can just resize to your scale and print it. Or use raw images attached in the same archive painting.zip
Finally you can cut it in place since it has some border you can cut

Thank you for these wonderful Ship addon's as they are very well done!

One question though, there were a few files that have several parts i.e. 1of 4 or 1 of 2
How do you get access to the remainder of the file?
I was only able to download part 1.

Thank you for your feedback!

There was one big problem with these files - most slicers couldn't load them correctly. So I got rid of very large files so they could be processed with slicers. The reduction was done in Instant Meshes, which preserves maximum detail. For now there are no files packed into multi-volume archives.

Dear @LexusJC,
For example, the HMS Victory file does not download any .stl files in part 1. How are you supposed to acquire them?
