- This Model is printed in high quality ABS-like resin. This highly detailed resin model may have slight imperfections from the printing process. Resin printing requires supports to hold the model in place while printing. These supports leave scars on the face of the model that can be scraped or sanded off easily.
(Resin sands very well)
I do my absolute best to limit these supports to the bottom of the model but that is not always possible. While
inspecting the prints I remove the supports and do a fair amount of cleanup but I leave the bulk of the body work to you, the experts. Listed photos are of actual prints and stand as an example of what you can expect.
*****Boat without trailer kit 7 pieces in total. 2 piece hull, T-top and console, Outboard engine, Leaning post, Engine rigging hose, and Stand. This Kit requires mating the hull together. The Hull connection is Keyed for the best fit possible but the supports required for printing makes these surfaces less than flat. It does take some sculpting and floating to achieve a completely hidden seam. This is a service I can provide in the Partially assembled kit.
*****Boat with trailer kit is 16 pieces in total. All boat parts including the stand as well as all trailer parts.
************TRAILER HAS BEEN REVISED************ to include vertical supports under the cross beams to
prevent the weight of the boat from causing the trailer to sag.
*****Trailer is 9 pieces in total. Includes Front and rear sections, X4 wheel/tire, 2 couplers, and the tongue jack.
The trailer is not intended to be a rolling toy. It is a stationary model.
- This is a very high end resin print and I treat them as such. Models with this level of detail require even more supports and processing than normal due to the high level of intricacy. The large parts are hollowed and will have vent holes for resin drainage and internal curing. Due to required print orientation the hull pieces will not have a perfectly flat mating surface.
- This model is printed in pieces due to its size. Boat and trailer will arrive in sections. See Photos.
Leaning post, T-top/Console, and outboard are printed separately and shipped unattached to hull for ease of painting. All components are pinned/slotted for a precise fit to hull.
- Vehicle Models are supplied unpainted and It will be printed to order, allow 7 days for production.
Model does not require paint and will hold up fine unfinished in a climate controlled dry area. Direct exposure to UV will discolor model and exposure to excessive heat will deform model.
Any paint suited for plastic will work well with ABS-Like resin using standard painting process. ABS-Like resin is not suited for use in water without some type of sealer.
