TERRANOVA47'S 3D PRINTED BATTLESHIPS

Last week when you posted Wotan's LEM you asked :

You could get anything 3D printed I imagine these days!
Have you got anything readers?

Well, yes.

Long ago I sold off my Tri-ang Minic Ships Waterline Models, as they were not of any great interest to me but then on eBay I saw a 1/1200 HMS Rodney, 3D printed.

To me that class of battleship defined the look and power of a battleship and in the listing it mentioned the company that designed the software for printing it, Ghukek's Miniatures.

I contacted the designer, paid $10 per design, sent them scale drawings of Royal Eagle and Crested Eagle.

I then arranged with the company that printed the models to provide them 1/1200 and 1/600 scales after getting the software from the designer.

Here they are. On the larger scale ones I replaced the masts with plastic to be thinner.

One shot has a Tribal Class Destroyer and a Flower Class Corvette as escorts.

  1. They are nice, but I think I prefer the little wooden boats you showed a while back, which are so full of charm! Bill

  2. Nice results!
    3D printing really allows us to have the toys we never had as kids!
