TreehuggerI ordered some stuff, for the first time from MicroMasters (They reopened their store just now in September 2024) making 3d printed stuff for ships. I only worry about things being smashed during shipping. In 1:350 scale, things are fairly small'ish and so "1:200 scale people" probably get more out of these parts I would think.
I don't like spending a lot of money on aftermarket stuff, but I thought I'd try this just once, adding some extra stuff. I'll just scrape the kit propellers into shape and not bother with 3d printed air vents.
Micro Masters did not seem to have the two part depth charge stuff at the stern of the ship, else I might added that as well to the order.

I took the time to check the few various boat parts found in the Trumpeter HMS Naiad kit, checked the length in mm, converted back to 1:1 using HiPER sci. calculator on my phone and sort of converted to feet, and then checked against candidates on the Micro Master website. I even added the doors (x30) which should add a lot of detail to the kit. Kit's ship doors are nicely molded but don't have much detailing on them.
Although some of the items, I had marked as "in my stash", I don't have them yet, only now just making an order.

TreehuggerPheu. Parcel finally arriving to my country today at long last. The first one they sent went missing inside UK for unknown reasons some time ago.

TreehuggerPackage arrived. Looks like good packaging. Contents inside a carton box size ca 20x15x8 cm. Box was wrapped with some perforated/fluffy paper carton wrapping paper, and outside the thin plastic bag outside there was also a sticker outside saying "fragile". Will look over the parts and probably takes some photos.
Looking inside, looks like they filled up the box with no moving parts inside. All the 3d printed parts are either inside several tiny jars w.lids, and also a smaller box inside again the larger box.
Update: Oh, wow, I have never seen such a detailed 3d printed part before. A lot better than I had expected. Will have to take photos of this. 🙂

TreehuggerI'll see if I can made some proper photos, but I would have to be really careful, as some of the details are tiny and presumably fragile.
This is what the turrets look like. A lot better than I thought. I have good look with my eyes into the box and I couldn't see stepping. Perhaps when I get the parts out of the box I can see if they are really as smooth as they look like inside the box. Anyway, this looks like a lot better than I would have ever hoped for.
Micromaster thought I wouldn't need metal barrels and maybe they are right. Though the 3d printed muzzle opening on each barrel doesn't look that deep, and presumably will never look as good as milled metal. Might go for one solution or the other, unsure.
At a glance, for the other parts, looks like I have zero parts broken off/loose, very nice.
The muzzle openings on the parts look better than in the photo.
One thing I think I know might not work well, is drilling out the 3d printed parts with a drill bit. Could be that the resin would too easily crack apart if I fool around with a drill bit, unsure.
