I just up-loaded the free .STL files for this 1/56th scale longboat and the instructions for the paper mache sail on Thingiverse.

I gotta ask, did you print this masterpiece in FDM or Resin? (Or sone parts A, some parts B?).

I'm currently working through a Caribbean house project (STL from a recent kickstarter), but I'm thinking I might need to tackle one of these next!

Michael... I printed it FDM on my Bambu A1 mini... It took some effort (and some files and sandpaper) to remove all of the supporting "nubs". I painted it with Liquitex acrylics and then gave it (and the paper mache sails) a wash of burnt umber oil paint mixed with mineral spirits (let it set for about an hour, and then wipe off some of the sxcess)

I finished and posted the 1/56^th Scale (28mm) 17^th Century Spanish Gun Emplacement, Cannons, Gun Crew, and Gabions. On Thingiverse.... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6956322  (The .STL files are free to download.)

Those figures look great.... Amazing job! But still loving that long boat with the sail.

Oh, wow! I love how the gun emplacement came together - you do know I am trying to avoid buying another piece of equipment (i.e. 3d printer)… You are eroding my resolve.
