Ship Model Manufacturing Process Guide
I. Main Structure Manufacturing
Hull Forming
The basic hull is manufactured using a fibreglass moulding process.
The deck is laser cut from poplar plywood.
The superstructure is CNC precision carved from ABS plastic.
Detail Reproduction
The portholes are cast from optical resin.
The anchor chain is hand-assembled from copper etched parts.
Radar antennas are made of gold-plated copper wire braiding
II. Surface Treatment Process
Base Treatment
The hull is sprayed with epoxy primer and sanded to a mirror finish
Metal components undergo electrolytic polishing
Wooden decks are treated with an aged etching finish
Professional Painting
Anti-fouling paint is applied below the waterline
The hull is painted with a three-colour gradient finish
Deck equipment retains casting texture
Use traces
Waves erosion effect added to the bow
Rope friction marks added to the mooring area
Create tread wear at the gangway position
III. Dynamic Effect Implementation
Lighting System
Navigation lights comply with international signal standards
Cabin windows can adjust brightness
Simulate radar scanning effects
Water Effects
Create propeller wake at the stern
Add wave splashes on both sides of the hull
Dynamic LED lighting at the waterline
