Ship built names were: Siren, Fox, Surprise, Enterprise, Actaeon, Proserpine, Medea, Andromeda, Aurora, Sibyl, Brilliant, Pomona, Crescent, Nemesis, Resource, Mercury, Pegasus, Cyclops, Vestal, Laurel, Thisbe, Circe, Rose, Hussar, Alligator, Dido and Lapwing.
The ship hull and shape was built as accurately as possible to admiralty plans. The hull under the waterline was then removed and the upper parts were simplified in detail at the bow, thickened in the stern, windows exaggerated, and deck detail exaggerated. All this to be able to print out at 1:700 (and larger) scales. Smaller scales are possible but would likely require a resin printer for the best results.
Contains: 1:700 scale hull, masts with sails, the bowsprit mast and sails and the mizzen gaff/spanker sail. The sails are of a generic 6th rate size. Does not include the ratlines, flags or rigging string. No supports are usually required on any part of the fdm print.
Photos are of an undercoated fdm printed early model.
