First Test Print of the Bridge, it's a good start.

Did you do the smaller printed ship also looks good should paint it to get a better idea what the larger one is going to look like when completed

No, the smaller model was made by someone else.

She's going to be a beast when she's done! How long did it take to print the bridge?

30 hours for just the bridge? Blimey! How long do you expect the whole project to take once you are happy with the resin and quality of the prints?

I have no idea, it takes as long as it takes for me to get the perfect result.

Also the manufacturer of the Printer said that they are working to get a Mono Screen made for my Printer so this would reduce print time by at least 30%

Will you be printing it in one big piece or smaller ones like a model kit?

Smaller pieces like a model kit, it would be impossible to do it differently this is a picture of the small parts on the Hangar Bay alone.

Crikey, that'll be a lot of work but I can imagine it'll be well worth it at the end. The 304 is one of my favourite Sci-Fi ships.
