I 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.
