Hello all,
I paid Scott a visit this afternoon as it had been a while and wanted to look at the Romeo. This is going to be a nice little boat. I took down the borei for a size comaprison. Dolgoruki (1/140) and Romeo (1/96). These old soviet diesel boats from the 1950's sure have character...
Great work Scott ,
Looking forward to seeing what you do with Resolution..

Taboo? Yes, to me it's taboo. 3D printing, CNC and the other computer directed, machine derived additive/subtractive processes is akin to hiring someone else to do the work you display. Robots do what we do better and cheaper. But, where's the craftsmanship in hiring out the work?
If your hands are not involved, it's not craftsmanship.

Jeez that must be some strong pills you take.

Hi Mate. Yep, the basic tower is a 3D print job. I've been trying to get a mesh surface on it so that I can skin it with paper tape and produce a proper "oil can" effect. So far I can get plenty of horizontal lines but the vertical ones are much more difficult. You might be able to see at leat two vertical lines towards the rear of the tower, the rest have mysteriously disappeared. I received a 1/44 Trumpeter 33G in the mail a few days ago. Lots of details and a great source of inspiration. I might make a 33G tower as well as the standard one to fit on the hull.
I'm working in the garage tonight because its still 28 degrees C here. To hot for the workshop!
Your idea of the mesh is brilliant, would have been awesome if that had turned out as you had planned. I don’t have any experience with 3D printing but maybe the resolution wasn’t fine enough, just wild guessing here.

If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

I like the trumpeter kit, but I even more like the model underneath, although you try to cover the spoiler with the kit I'm sure that is a R8.

Nice work , scott
As mentioned Fantastic work with or without an imitation plastic hatch plug "dear leader" with obligatory adoring crowds of half starved army soldiers standing on the rear deck creating drag whilst the dear leader tells the sub commander how to do his job because he obviously doesn't know.
