1/300 Flower-class Corvette

thingiverse

I recommend using the flower-class version 2 stl file in future for a more accurate representation. The previous version had the forecastle step and superstructure positioned too far forward, but I've left it here just in case anyone needs it for any reason. This is a work-in-progress waterline-model Flower-class corvette designed specifically for naval wargaming. To scale it to 1/350, use 85.7%, or 0.429 for 1/700 - keep in mind that some details may not print well at this scale, as I haven't tested it thoroughly yet. Be aware that the model is approximately 21cm long, so you might need to turn it diagonally for a 200x200mm print bed or cut it into sections for smaller printers. It should print without supports, but wire or plastic rod will be needed for the mast - a location hole is provided just aft of the bridge. A crude representation of the 4-in bow gun and 2-pdr pompom AA have been added now. Print the guns with support, with the barrels facing vertically upwards. The model still requires considerable detailing and various smaller aa-guns, which I hope to add soon. Carley floats can be borrowed from my 1/100 1940-model Vosper and scaled accordingly.
