This cargo ship was made to motivate my 6yr old boy to swim longer then just a couple of meters. I thought this is better then just swim along here and there....swim after the cargo ship and catch it :-D
I have remixed Steampunq "Customizable Ship" a little. It is a very nice shaped vessel, just the upper section was too small in my mind, so i made a bigger cabine for the crew. The chimney is also little tweaked.
I have added own designed plates for the hull where you can put containers on.
By the way, these container are from 100% "GBE: Miscellaneous Accessory Set 1" made by OldMaster. I have nothing changed on them, they are perfect as they are. Just resized a little to match the freighter.
The size when you download is tiny, i have printed every part with 400% which ends up in a approx. 35cm large ship. This is about 1,14 foot for the us guys ;-)
You can put 9 cargo container all in all on the vessel. 4 under deck and 5 ontop of it.
Yes the first 2 container ontop have much space on the plate - my boy wanted it to be like that.
I bought some 5g weights to level the ship with it. When i have added all 9 containers the total weight is pretty ok from my gut feeling. So i guess you don't need to put any extra weights in - lets see, i can update here after our "Stapellauf" if you need weights or not.
Have fun with it - we for sure will have it. Airbrush and ageing looks pretty nice - my first attempt with it. :-D
