Hull printed. There is a tiny bit of distortion on the mating faces but nothing a bit of filler won't fix. 

Need to cut the roof into bits and get that printed next. 

Then just waiting for the 50 cals

Fark!  :o That's an amazing bit of kit. No use for one but..........this will be hard. Thank Christ for the crushing debt of Christmas, school fees, uniforms, FFA fees and a fucking laptop for the boy.  :D

Thanks!

Roof support structure is a bit all over the place as the long thin prints distort a fair bit, I'm going to improve the connection points and once cast in metal they will be a lot more forgiving.  Mostly as they will bend into place!

Ok got the 50s from Empress.  My quick and dirty versions were clearly weedy by comparison, they look a lot more dangerous now!  Will reprint the whole lot over the next few days cut up for production.

Ok so nearly done.

Hull needs a bit of filler and a tidy.
Need to fit the M60 pintle and reprinting the mast and searchlight.

Otherwise I think I'm done...

Lots of bits but the roof is damn fiddly!  All keyed to holes in the deck though so should be ok...  Plus white metal railing is more forgiving than resin!
