STL drawings and designs

After seven years we have finally finished my model and hobby room. Added to that my son has just bought himself a 3D printer. Put those together and I would like to get hold of some printable drawings of 20mm, 40mm, 2pdr, 3", 4" 4.5" 5" sized weaponry in 1/700 scale. When refitting model ships, it ...

Re: Germany - Scharnhorst-class Battleship (redux)

Excellent work. The overhead work is inspiring. It is so difficult to match up side and overhead view.

Re: Fisherless Royal Navy

HMS Neptune (BB-1911) The original layout of the Colossus / Neptune types is as shown below. They still carry the awkward wing turrets. Something I have been trying to eradicate from my Commonwealth Navy. Good old Fisher and his design work, building directions are hard to get rid of. The work I ...

Re: Fisherless Royal Navy

One of the original aims for this "Fisherless RN" page was to replace Admiral Fisher before he did too much damage to the RN when he returned in 1914.

Re: Fifth Generation Fighter Challenge

I would have liked to be able to see what the options were for the next Challenge.

I am certainly not going to 'vote' or comment on drawings in a challenge I have absolutely no interest in, just to get to the next challenge options.

Re: Decline of real life drawings -derail from challenge suggestion thread

RL/NW drawings do take much more time to complete than AU or PD drawings. For that reason those people who have only limited time to produce pixel art are happy to do something which produces visible results in a short period of time. The quality of a RL/NW drawing needs to be of a very high ...
