1/1800th Scale Alaska Class Large Cruiser Model Not all elements of this model are to scale. These cruisers were actually considered to be Battlecruisers, although they were officially classed as Large Cruisers. They were almost as long as some of the largest battleships in service at the time. Six cruisers of this class were initially planned for construction, but only two made it into commission before World War II came to a close. Unfortunately, they did not get much of a chance to show their mettle due to being commissioned late in the war - 1944 - and subsequently seeing little action during that time period. After serving for three years, they were finally decommissioned in 1947. This particular model has been carefully crafted at a scale of 1/1800th, but upscaling and downscaling can also be accomplished with relative ease. It is essential to keep in mind, however, that since this model is specifically optimized for the aforementioned scale, it might not fare too well if printed in larger sizes. A noticeable shortcoming of larger print versions would undoubtedly be a lack of detail due to reduced features like enlarged gun barrels and masts. As part of my ongoing endeavor to collect an array of World War II warships, this is another noteworthy addition to the collection. Please stay tuned for further additions; if there's something specific that you're interested in, kindly send me a message so I can move it up on my agenda. Here are some important updates on this project: On 28th March 2019: A comprehensive redesign led to an overall upgrade with enhanced detail. On 20th August 2019: The addition of boats and anchor chains was completed. On 19th December 2019: Proposed plans for converting the cruisers into guided missile vessels were put in place. For printing, I've made sure to thoroughly test it at a PLA setting of .08mm layer height paired with a nozzle size of .4mm.
