At the S.S. Nomadic is a 69 meter long tender ship from 1911. She has a long history and is known as “Titanic’s little sister”. The Nomadic was built at the same shipyard, Harland & Wolff in Belfast, alongside the Titanic and Olympic. In April 1911 she began service as a tender ship in the French port of Cherbourg. Since the port of Cherbourg was not deep enough for the Olympic-class ships, the Nomadic, along with the S.S. Traffic used to bring passengers and goods that were to be disembarked or disembarked in Cherbourg to the ship. For a long time, the Nomadic served as a feeder ship in the port of Cherbourg and also brought passengers on board the Queen Mary. Today, the last existing White Star Line ship, the Nomadic has its home at the Titanic Museum in Belfast on the grounds of Harland & Wulff found.
The model
We have the S.S. Nomadic was painstakingly recreated as a kit with as much detail as possible. You have the opportunity to bring this 3D printable kit to your home. This special TITANIC edition is optimized for the common scales in which Titanic models are also offered. Titanic enthusiasts will get their money's worth with this model and can get their R.M.S. TITANIC also a model of the S.S. Build NOMADIC.
If you want the model to be larger than 1:100, you can get the suitable model that is specifically designed for RC operation. For larger scales such as 1:50, 1:87 or similar. and we recommend the “large model”.
Here is an overview of the total length at appropriate scales:
1:100 - 67.0cm
1:200 - 33.5cm
To preserve the level of detail, we recommend printing this model with resin printers (Resin, SLS, DLP...). Combined printing (FDM and SLS...) is also possible.
This set does not contain any mounting parts for servos etc. In principle, the model can also be used as a functional model, but we cannot provide any product information for fittings. Expansion as an RC model is possible for experienced model builders.
our advantages
This model is not designed for any specific scale. However, note that the quality of detail varies with scale. The smaller your model, the more details are lost.
Spare parts always available. Buy the model once and keep the data on your PC. If something breaks, you can immediately produce your spare part yourself, even if the model is no longer available in the shop.
- Decide for yourself which materials you use for printing.
- The limits of printing are determined by your 3D printer. The build space of your printer determines the maximum possible scale.
- To print certain parts, you will need to print support structures. This may result in higher material consumption - take this into account when planning.
- The fuselage parts are glued together and offer the possibility of additionally connecting them to each other with screws in the frames. The adhesive only performs the sealing function. Another advantage is that the screws distribute the pressure evenly over the adhesive surface during gluing, resulting in an almost perfect bond. Huge screw clamps are then no longer necessary.
- While glue loses its grip with age, the screw connection ensures that your torso retains its stability even as you age. Glued hulls become brittle with age and there is a risk that glued hulls could break in the event of impacts at the bonding points. In the worst case, this can mean a loss of the entire model. If the fuselage is screwed on, this risk is reduced to a minimum and you can enjoy your model for longer.
RC compatibility
The model is designed for use as an RC boat. Of course you can also use it as a stand model. Corresponding foundations for servos and motors are present in the fuselage and are sometimes printed into the structure as normal. Separate mounting plates with prepared mounting holes for the front sections are also included and can be printed out if required.
In the pictures you will find a table in which the boat is converted into various scales. For some scales it is listed which dimensions are intended for any fittings.
Corresponding fittings for the boat must be purchased separately and are not included.
scope of delivery
This set contains all parts for printing the model. All you need are the fittings for operation as an RC boat or drive shafts and propellers if you use the model as a driving model.
