Hi all

I'm not a fan of some PE parts that are supplied with some kits .


Where's the best place to find STL files for scale model ships?

There are some good files on

If you tell us what you are looking for , might be able to narrow it down.

It's the small parts that I'd like to find to replace PE parts ... I've been on quite a few sites but no cigar so far

It's very unlikely someone would have already made the parts you require unless they had built that precise model and been equally irritated by the PE. Unfortunately, unless you either do it yourself or commission someone, I think you are out of luck. My suggestion is look for an STL file of a similar complete ship and see if it contains the details you want, then you can download it and cherry-pick the bits you need .
Once you find the file I can help you with that if you're interested . There's a very good website called https://cults3d.com/en
Good luck
Neil

hi all
i am contemplating buying a DSPIAE tabletop vice.
They are quite pricey, was wondering, has anyone got one? Are they any good? and are they worth the money?

I must say that I am very happy with it.
