Guys!!
Thanks for pitching in and, Davie there nice pictures of the Christina S. I've got GA plans for the Altaire built in 1994, She's now called the Jupiter
FD42, and she's for sale £7m....lol even after all these years, she's still going strong!!
I'm planning on printing this model from PETG which is far stronger than ABS and PLA, also temperature and UV Resistant!! I've also two more pelagic boats that will come after this one is printed. Right now I'm just cutting the scuppers, freeing ports and the stern hatches on the transom. i've also cut in tunnels for the thrusters too, my plan is when i get someone to evaluate the hull i'll slice it into sections and print them individually and bond them together.
I've lost count of the number of pathways and Lunar bows there is now. I'm originally from Mallaig on the west coast and I remember well as a boy in the 90's the peterhead and Fraserburgh pelagic teams coming over for the summer herring and mackerel, discharging to the Russian Klondykers anchored in Loch Nevis.
Davie I'm right in saying that it was you family that had the Philorth? she was a fine looking boat, i never actually saw her myself other than in photographs and on youtube.
Thanks for the reply guys, any comments on my design please feel free to share, I'm new to the 3D printing and I want to get it as close as possible.
Cheers
Martin
