Another project I am working on is a 1/48 scale HMS Mersey, made a new superstructure today and primed ready for fettling, hull has had a couple of coats whilst the weather still held out today, seems to look okay but a bit of sanding back required in places..

Main mast number 2, first one got trashed when the trimmer fell on it 


Took me best part of the day to make…

Having a pop at printing the RIB davits, not looking to bad, a little fettling needed and a bit of spray they should look ok, print time is 1.5hr.

Hi Russell,


I’m sorry to say I’m not a great fan of 3D printing but ! saying that it does seem to have some advantages.


Your 3D printed Davits are not bad for first time

Your superstructure is nice and crisp. Super project :)

After some deliberation I would agree that they are not where I want them to be, a fellow mayhem member is going to resin print me some, if they are of superior standard I manly look at swapping to a resin printer..

A friend of mine has just got a resin printer,  it produces fantastic and fine detail fittings but they can be very brittle

3D printing can be of variable quality on home machines depending on the machine and the filament used.

But top quality 3D printers can produce results that even the best conventional modellers find very difficult to match - albeit at a price!
