Tried to build my own HMS Devastation in fall 2014, the 2014 version base on the Photo-Etching design. Because of the poor reference (Only a plan from Brown's Warrior to Dreadnought and some photos), it was full of mistake.

so I drew a new version Photo-Etching to fix these mistakes in 2015, base on the builder's plan, but this version was never built. and the Devastation project was temporarily suspend.

Ideal is beautiful……
, the first 3d print body failed. I drew so many details and locating holes on the ship, too small body filled with details, can not be "correctly" printing SLA 3D printer. details looks terrible…………
