USS Kansas City & Jackson Simplified Miniatures

Boost MeConsider dropping a boost if you liked this model :)

This project includes two simplified miniature models of the U.S. Navy’s Independence-class Littoral Combat Ships:

• USS Kansas City (LCS-22)
• USS Jackson (LCS-6 – includes additional deck turret variant)

These modern trimaran warships are designed for high-speed coastal operations and feature a distinctive angular stealth superstructure and large flight deck. The models capture the recognizable silhouette and structural layout while remaining optimized for easy and reliable 3D printing.

Simplified Miniature Design

These are intentionally simplified models created for ease of printing. Instead of ultra-fine micro details, the geometry focuses on:

• Clean, printable surfaces
• Stable deck structures
• Reduced overhang complexity
• Reliable FDM results

This makes them ideal for:

• Desk display miniatures
• Naval collections
• Tabletop gaming use
• Educational display models
• Scaled fleet collections

Fully Scalable

The models can be scaled up for larger display pieces or scaled down for compact miniatures, depending on your printer and intended use.

Printing Notes

• Optimized for standard FDM printers
• Minimal support required depending on orientation
• Works well at multiple scales
• Beginner-friendly geometry

Perfect for modern naval enthusiasts and miniature fleet builders.
