    Oldie But Goodie

    Found this on EBay. Thought I’d build it to pass the time. Click image for larger version

    I built this kit when I was 12, and ended up serving on the "Sink'in Lincoln's" sister ship 7 years later.

    Don't forget the seafoam interior paint!

      Have one build here and another kit of it in the backlog that I'd spice up with some 3D printing. Love the kit. Really good and highly detailed for the time it was issued.

        I don’t have a printer as of yet, and wouldn’t know where to start.

          I got one from Caswell several years back as a complementary gift.

            Get a ​ Creality3D CR-6 SE 3D (about $ 300)
            Use Ultimaker Cura as the software to make the print code (free)
            Learn Tinkercad to create your own stuff (free)
            Download 3d ready made models from sites like CGTrader and others

            Ask me for the rest. :)

            PS: I built that model as one of my firsts as well. Was probably around 10 years of age.
