    I don't know if I've said this before, but I don't even make models. I watch your videos to remind me that there is always a way to improve. When given a product or solution that seems "good enough", there is always something you can contribute and a new high standard of excellence to establish. Each project is a learning experience. Thank you for going through the trouble to record your process!

    The St. Louis was a beautiful Ship, and bristling with guns! They later decided that many of those guns saw such limited use that they removed them and instead mounted smaller turrets on the fore and aft decks and midships with smaller, antiaircraft guns as airplanes become a standard military machine, and how Brig. Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell proved how a single aircraft could sink a battleship. So anti-aircraft guns were placed on all American vessels. But the St. Louis was a classic old steamer with all of her side mounted gun placed in her hull, which provided incredible protection for the gun crews manning them plus the beautiful scroll worked plague placed at her bow, I wish the Navy still placed such plaques on the bows of every warship they make. Thanks for sharing this build of the St. Louis with us. I actually have a copy of this file, I kept it, but I wasn't sure if it would be worth making, and now I see that although not as detailed as it could be, it is still a beautiful model and any person would be happy to have a completed version of it on display, except for the more detail orientated naval modeler out there. But to place it on a shelf under glass would be a nice addition to any man-cave or office. Can't wait for your next video!

    Dear Mr Plasmo,
    To say I am impressed by this project would be to understate the matter to a considerable degree.
    Weathering and shading at that scale appears a significant undertaking too.
    An excellent result!

    This is wonderful! It is so good to see 3D printing being adopted by modellers, it will mean that more unusual and interesting parts and models can be made, and talented designers can make some extra money from their work when they have supporters or sell 3D files. This will be a big step forward in the modelling hobby, and you did and incredible job with this build.

    Beautiful build, just one flaw: the Stars and Stripes is from the wrong time period (ours)! The appropriate flag should have 3 rows of 8 stars and 3 rows of 7 (45 states from 1896 to 1908). But otherwise simply stunning what you achieved with 3d-printing 👏👏👏👏

    Nice job. For the small ribbing imperfections caused by 3D printing, I've found that scrapping them at 90 degrees with a sharp X-acto knife gets rid of them precisely, without unwanted loss that's often caused by a sander or grinder. Keep up the work, it's EXCELLENT!

      Judging from this video, and also knowing from a friend who is into 3D printing with filaments (although not into modelling), the surface is very crude.
      David needed to sand and prime again and again and again.
      Also, plastic filament as well as resin is not cheap, the time to calibrate and print everything is also significant.
      A proper injection moulded kit with some photoetch would be better for everybody. For someone with Davis skills, I would say even 100% scratch building may be more effective and give better results.
      David sure made a nice model. But when you look at his 1/700 ships he did with insane detailing, and then compare it with this monstrosity.... I think he just wanted to try something new, or maybe even got sponsored from WoW to do this, and then just finish it ASAP without his usual patience and attention to details.

    Currently in the process of printing this in 1/144. I've modified the funnels to add rivets and make the ladders closer to scale. I've modified the .stl files for the main guns to fit into the casemates as 3'' guns since those are way out of scale.. Doing the hull in FDM and smaller parts in SLA. The deck planks are driving me crazy but theres no easy way to make them close to scale. Planning to use photoetch for ladders and railings. Can't wait for more digital designs for ships.
