I think you will agree that these photos show off all the details and work involved in making this model.
Completed Parts
Today was a day of painting all the 3D printed parts, either by brush but mainly with the use of an airbrush.As you can see from the image below there is a growing number of parts all ready for being installed onto the model as each stage progresses. There are only two main parts to…
4 inch Guns
Today has been about building these resin cast guns.I needed to clean up the main resin parts and fill all the air bubble gaps due to the casting process, and this can be a challenge due to the complex nature of the parts. Once this was complete I could then move onto sanding down the…

Side Casemates
Today we spent time working on the design of the side casemates which were designed in a CAD program and then 3D printed in liquid resin to get the best finish when fitted and painted.These parts were printed using FunToDo black resin and on a Anycubic Photon printer.
