After completing my 1.5 year long magnum opus called Charles Martel<\/a>, 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<\/a>.
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update Aug. 15, 2025<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I just finished recreating the entire USN WWII German Naval Recognition Set (and then some) in 1\/500 scale, check out the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
