bootneck Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hello everyone, I have been scratchbuilding model ships for a number of years now, mostly aircraft carriers, but I have problems trying to make the ship's boats and launches. I have bought myself a 3D printer, in order to produce the smaller items on a model, but my CAD skills are very basic at the moment. Does anyone know of a CAD designer who has produced RN ship's boats and who may be able to sell the files for home production? I know Shapeways do them but I am going to need a lot and couldn't afford to go down that route. Here is a view of my feeble effort at making my own with styrene sheet plastic; hence why I would like to be able to get better quality versions. cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi, Mike, do you have any drawings? I might try a quick draw (no charge) if the source info is usable. I've just drawn a 1/72 Navaho from plans, and am building the resulting print. Regards Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
