The ship hull and shape was built as accurately as possible to admiralty plans. The hull under the waterline was then removed and the upper parts were simplified in detail at the bow, thickened in the stern, windows exaggerated, and deck detail exaggerated. All this to be able to print out on an FDM 3d printer at 1:600 and 1:700 and then at smaller scales for Resin printers (1:900, 1:1200)
Designed for a range of games including Black Seas, Fighting Sail, Fire as She Bears, Kiss Me Hardy and more.
Photos are of a 1:700 print using an Ender 3.
UPDATE 25/01/2020: uploaded a new 1:700 version with deck planking and exaggerated hull lines for easier printing. Get it at the link below.
UPDATE 04/11/2019: I've updated the free 1:700 version with 3d printable sails to also include cannons and gunports at:
