Container Ship 1:1200 Scale

<p>This is a remix of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4900832">3dprintoutz4u0s container ship</a>. Not any specific one from what I know and the scale is a bit of a guess, but it's likely to be around 247m long.</p><p>In a nutshell I've:</p><ul><li>replaced the entire hull with a more realistic version</li><li>replaced the container with a more scale appropriate version and merged them into various stack configs</li><li>reworked the funnel superstructure</li><li>enlarged existing details and added new ones</li></ul><p>It's printable in various variants, with the entire thing in one piece, with some containers missing, everything separate, etc.</p><p>There are also the rock.stls which are the reef rocks I used in the diorama shown above. One of them is from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1691424">this pack</a> but I've included it here given the scaling adjustment to keep things consistent.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Yes</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>0.12 hull and containers, 0.08 superstructure</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>7%</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Supports are needed only for the hull rear section.</p><p>I suggest printing the hull and superstructure separately as the windows will more likely come out far nicer at higher res and it won't take too long if you don't have to print the hull along with it.</p><p>As for the containers, it takes forever to print them in the model, so I printed each stack separately at 0.12 and roughly half hour per stack.</p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p>For my build I followed the excellent decayed ship technique shown by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeYt2wlKno">Laser Creation-World in one of his videos</a>.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/141874/rich_content/527ba089-2cec-49ae-abce-aa9162eecfca/hull.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22d4344836-6f14-4036-9f82-1759cc90304d%22%2C%22w%22%3A1000%2C%22h%22%3A489%7D"></figure><p>The partial container stls are probably best for this kind of build, but I've also included the full container options in case anyone intends to make a mint condition fully loaded version.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/141874/rich_content/2c33f510-fd89-46ca-a21a-0fdb10606a59/wip.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%222a405db3-fc29-48a3-8ae4-8e1882cc9ad5%22%2C%22w%22%3A1000%2C%22h%22%3A522%7D"></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/141874/rich_content/db53e42b-b4ca-47d2-ae92-ce695719bb6f/containers.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22bbdd3256-a505-4547-b463-5178564a93dc%22%2C%22w%22%3A847%2C%22h%22%3A385%7D"></figure><p>I'd recommend printing the container stacks separately, as it's much easier to paint them this way and more flexible when printing.</p><p>Slight warning, the front two stacks may be a bit of a tight fit.</p><p>For the water I've used <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeYt2wlKno">Scale-a-ton's aluminum foil + wood glue technique</a>. Pretty cheap given that there's no resin needed, though you don't get much transparency.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/141874/rich_content/08e71d12-dd48-4132-be97-62dc467c18dd/20211212_210305.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22eba9f33b-0715-4a1d-8c80-06cbe3f78b57%22%2C%22w%22%3A1000%2C%22h%22%3A583%7D"></figure>
