The Director is modelled on the actual Main Gun Director of the
HMS Achilles which is posted outside the New Zealand naval base at Devonport.
Model is optimised for easy removal from base and supports can be be kept in place for airbrushing.Some
part cleanup will be necessary. The 3D printing process uses a waxy substance to support certain part features during the printing process. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways, some waxy residue may remain. It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like "
Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners. Customers report that "
Bestine" and "
Goo Gone" also work well.During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light. Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured.
Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin. Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
Use dedicated model sprue cutters to remove parts to minimise damage to parts.Please take a look at my other items.
