USS California 1/200. 3D printed.

, thank you David.
Although this is a superbly produced model and the fine detailing in 3D printed parts are exquisite, theres no instructions whatsoever .

I am left to my own devices in trying to interpret how things should be positioned with internet photos of the real ship. In addition, I should point out to anyone considering a 3D printed kit, please be aware if you drop a piece on a hard timber floor, it will fly apart into multiple bits.

To me, knowing there were no instuctions for assembling this model, makes what you've done even more impressive. Did you know that to be the case when your ordered the kit? Despite the raised possibility of there being something part positional 'errors', the ship looks fantastic. Great work Brian.

Thanks Steve.
Having built three previous 3 D printed ship models, they all have zero instructions. The model builder has to figure it out himself.
