Sevastopol (aka Paris Commune) 1942 1:700 (SS Model) by Richard Warring
This was my first 3D printed ship and the parts while finely printed and detailed, were also rather brittle.
Fortunately, I managed to free most of the parts from their resin cages without too much damage.
The masts and supports were replaced with brass rod. The 76.2 mm gun barrels looked like droopy thread and were replaced by cut down Adlers Nest 100mm brass barrels.
I managed to break off all of the 37mm gun barrels with most being replaced with 3D Models 3" barrels.
Finally, I used Tom's 2-bar railing throughout the ship, Infini 40 denier rigging and GMM flags.
