For more information visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan-class_ship-sloop The design of the ship's hull and shape was carefully recreated according to Admiralty plans. The underwater portion of the hull was removed and simplified at the bow, thickened in the stern, windows exaggerated, and deck details enhanced for accurate 3D printing on FDM printers at scales of 1:600 and 1:700, as well as smaller Resin printer scales (1:900, 1:1200). Designed for a variety of games including Black Seas, Fighting Sail, Fire as She Bears, Kiss Me Hardy, and more. Photos showcase prints on an Ender 3 FDM printer at 1:700 scale, followed by the hull printed on an Elegoo Mars Resin printer at 1:700. A comparison with other models is also visible.
