Civil War Ships Miscellaneous

thingiverse

Sorry, no attention grabbing story at the beginning of this one! If one desires much more detailed models, they can be found over at my new storefront on Wargaming3d. https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/eastcoastironclads/ This set consists of a series of miscellaneous ships from both sides that are entirely compatible with my sets of Union and Confederate ironclads. The ships in this set currently are: USS Miami USS Minnesota USS Sassacus USS Susquehanna USS Unadilla USS Mississippi CSS Alabama Generic Tugboat (based on CSS Teaser) Added 9/21/2020 USS Housatonic CSS Selma Added 9/28/2020 USS Keokuk Added 9/29/2020 Generic River Gunboat (based on USS Lexington) Converted models to metric to alleviate slicer weirdness I will continue modeling several more ships and add them to the set as I complete them. With this set there are a good number of ships that haven't been modeled because there are ALOT of wooden ships like these, and if I sat down to try and model them all I would go insane. With these ships I have focused on notable ships and first in class ships through the years of the Civil War (1861-1865), as with my other ship sets, if there is a specific ship that anyone would like modeled, send me a message and I will model it and add it to the list. The masts are printable on a FDM printer although resin is ideal for printing them. I used Cura with 0.15 layer height, using tree supports. The spars for the spanker sails come out a little thin and spindly, a layer of super glue or possibly white glue can help strengthen them, alternatively they can be replaced with wire.
