Description
Perfect for war games or dioramas.
Missed the war!
Constructed during the war, but being finished just after it ended she never saw action, although one of her sisters, USS Monadnock, did see action at Fort Fisher, the James River, and intercepted CSS Stonewall at Havana. After the war, Miantonomoh made a voyage across the Atlantic to Europe and Russia as a show of power. Monadnock made a similar voyage down to South America. All four ships of the class were part of the shady happenings around the navy rebuild in the 1870s and 1880s as it was told to the Navy Department that the existing ships were being repaired, when in reality they were being completely rebuilt under the same name.
Our Models are printed in .05 mm layer in resin to maximize the details. Resin colors are limited to Gray, White (Cures off white), Black, Clear Red, Clear Green, Clear Blue, or Yellow. We will contact you with current color choices if you order a color that is not available.
*********************
We examine all of our items and will only send you the pieces that meet our standards.
All items are unpainted (unless otherwise stated) and will usually require some basic cleanup. This can be done with a hobby knife and/or high grit sandpaper.
Resin Printing does not melt plastic like FDM printing. Instead a photo curable liquid resin is placed in a vat and an LCD screen /LED array at specific wavelength (405 NM), which solidifies the liquid resin in that spot. The build plate then moves up to the next layer height (.05 mm or 5 microns in this case) and the process repeats. Each reaction attaches the 'cured' resin in the previous layer. After the printing is completed, we wash the excess resin off in an alcohol bath, and then place the model on a turntable with curing lights for several hours to harden the material to its final form. Resin printing offers a much finer level of detail/resolution at a higher material and consumable cost.
These are printed on demand for you. Orders will be printed and shipped in the order that they are received. If there are any delays, we will communicate with you the expected delivery date.
