Ordered!

Thanks Chris! Noing nothing that is how I was going to do them, attached and secured. I have finished the little boats I think. I really like the 40' personnel boat. The utility boat turned out OK... And the teeny whale boats are also OK. Not much you can do to make gray look good. The...

Hey guys, I have a question I cannot find an answer to. In the photo of a boat being lowered I have circled in red a section of ropes with knots tied at intervals. Are those roped left attached at the top and secured at the bottom when not in use, or are the taken down and put up as needed?

Zat's awesome! Thank'ey kine'lee

Thanks! The pictures show a wheel on a little pedestal thimg sort of like I tried to make. The little boats have a tiller. On a similar subject, @Rhino , what is this called so I can find reference photos?

I realized it did not have a steering wheel. I cannot tell what the rudder looks like but I bet it has one.

I tricked out a couple of little boats. Figuring out the wording to find a reference for the launch boat took some time! It kept wanting to show me Navy ships being launched! I made the parts for the launch boat from scratch and the cutters parts are AM PE. I made a teeny propeller and you can...

G and I discussed it said that very thing. I can add them at the end if necessary. I did find a striking set of four on eBay for $22 so if all else fails that is my fall back plan.

Looking forward to it. Just gotta decide on what to build. Hey, the USS Missouri has two smoke stacks. Does that mean it has two engines? 🤔

The CA is working better using Paul's mixing suggestions. I guess my biggest issue now is making the tweezers let go of the piece without moving it LOL. I did a lot of glazing (or washes, wharever you want to call it) on the deck to sort of unify all of the various values I had used. I used oil...

Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra 12K is what I am looking at Thanks James. Yes, I used an unused USB for each new attempt. (I bought a pack of 5 when I was having trouble the first time and Phrozen support asked me to try a new stick). I have had Phrozen mini 4k and an Anycubic 4K. I am looking forward...

There is no groove to be had with this printer. There are too many kinks to be worked out before it is ready for the public.

Well, nope. The printer no workie. It actually froze at about 25mm and would not move. I turned off the machine and restarted it then raised the plate to find nothing but base layers on it. The was a very expensive lesson. Never buy Phrozen printers. Never.

Well, I put the new parts in the printer, spent a day tuning the exposure settings, and printed two gorgeous figures. The next print I tried printed the bases and nothing else. Hmm, there must have been something wrong with that file. I tried printing again with a different file set with the...
