So I got inspired to see what happened if I took a 28mm .stl file and shrunk a sloop down to 15%… and it is kind of cool. I was surprised how much of the characteristic of the ship that survived the scale-down. It was printed using a 0.05mm layer height.

Have not decided if I will paint it or not, but perhaps… think it would benefit from a mast and sail, and a tiny flag.. 🙂
Makes me think of the classic Man O War game from GW, the scale more than anything makes me think that.
was his with the standard 0.4 nozzle? Try again with a 0.2 – makes the world of difference
