Schledwick Holstien wasn’t in the US 1/500 scale German Naval Recognition Set. She was in the 1/1200 scale version, and she was a cool looking pre-dreadnaught, so I wasn’t going to leave her out of my 1/500 scale set. Again I got busy putting her together and forgot to take pictures of the Elegoo Saturn’s resin parts before I broke them up for cleaning and finish curing. I did take a shot of the assembled but unpainted model, the Elegoo Saturn’s resin parts are slightly lighter than the FDM hull printed by the Ender 3 Pro, and you can see how they fit together. There’s also a shot of just the FDM hull and a Blender render.
This Schledwick Holstien was a joy to print and assemble and all went smoothly. Like the Kormoran, she may have a tad more detail then an actual recognition model of Schledwick Holstien in 1/500 would have had, but not by much.
Next up will be the light cruiser Emden, getting slowly closer to a completed set…
