Sorry, no attention grabbing story at the beginning of this one!
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
USS Alligator
CSS Alabama
CSS David
CSS Pioneer
H.L. Hunley
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 submarines Pioneer, Alligator, Hunley and torpedo boat David are modeled to 1/600 scale to match the rest of the ships, however they end up being less than an inch long. It might be a bit better to print them at 150% to make them more visible on the table.
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.
