After completing the Prinz Eugen<\/a> replica Comet recognition model, it was only natural to follow up with Tirpitz<\/a>.
Again I used the Ender 3 Pro for the “Wooden” hull parts and my Elegoo Saturn for the parts that would have been cast lead on the Comet models.

As with Prinz Eugen, the pictures with two ships show my printed model next to an original. And again like Eugen, this Tirpitz is not a perfect replica – minor improvements were made as well as a few mistakes…
My next version should be close to perfect \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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
