Ocean-base with the ship-names are provided. Also named separate named flat-bases are included. Each flat base comes in two version text raised and lowered. These bases will print fine on a FDM-print. You can still print these on a Resin printer, that will give you more detail in the text, but no supported files are provided for the flat-bases.

Supported files(1/1800) are included for model the flat-bases and Ocean-bases, use at your own risk, might be best you create your own supported files, which prints best on you own printer. Some parts are rather delicate, mainly the gun barrels, and you will need to remove support carefully. Best to use a somewhat more flexible resin to prevent breaking of the smaller parts when used on the war-gaming-table.
