130-Gun Warship Cross-Section

This detailed sectioned model is based on two of the 19th century’s greatest first-rate warships: the French Montebello and the Ottoman Mahmudiye.

3D Printing & Assembly

Most parts print cleanly on FDM or resin machines. Decks are flat for straightforward printing, frames stand vertically for strength, and accessories benefit from fine-resolution settings.

Assembly is intuitive:

  1. Build the central frame and keel structure
  2. Install deck modules
  3. Add guns and accessories
  4. Mount on the included display base

Uses

Beyond its value as a display model, this cross-section works beautifully as:

  • An educational tool for naval architecture, museums, and classrooms
  • A construction reference for wooden ship modeling
  • A decorative piece for collectors or maritime-themed spaces
  • A customizable foundation for dioramas or LED lighting projects
