Confederate Navy Gets a boost from my Bambu mini

        The other day I offered to bring a "standby-game" to Flintcon (just in case there was a weather-related cancellation). When I looked at my ACW fleets I decided that I didn't want to run the same scenario again.With that in mind I designed a scenario wherein the Confederates had managed to secretively assemble a fleet to challenge the Union blockade of the Gulf Coast, This would require a much larger Confederate Navy. 

       With no time to order additional models from Thoroughbred (or any other manufacturer for that matter) I turned to the internet to find some free STLs to feed to my Bambu Mini. A few hours later I had a freshly-printed fleet of Confederate boats.

 

looking at them now makes me wish I had gotten that .02mm hot-end

the striations are prominent!

 

 

the light color doesn't help at all,

 fortunately most are a lot darker and it hides the lines better

 

beer-mats provided the basing material and Americana Prussian Blue provided the water color

 (yes, I realize the these were mostly riverine craft and should be floating in a greenish-brown ooze) 

while Future floor wax gave the water a nice glossy shine

      Now all I have to do is knock together data sheets for my really simple ACW naval rules and I'm all set for the convention.
