After completing my 1.5 year long magnum opus called Charles Martel, I wasn’t ready for another long term commitment but I did want to putter around with something…
I remembered the 1/500 scale WWII German recognition models made by Comet and thought they’d be perfect. Here is the first: Prinz Eugen.
I also wanted to fire up the Ender 3 again and thought it would be a good fit for the “Wooden” hull parts. I used my Elegoo Saturn for the parts that would have been cast lead on the Comet models.
She’s not a perfect replica – I made some minor improvements and a couple mistakes but at less then a month from design to done – close enough!
This was a small, simple build, so no project page, just this post.
