US Navy 18-gun Brig-sloop USS Argus -6MM scale (SLA HI RES/Skill level 3 kit)

Sale Price:$23.00 Original Price:$45.00

Take to the high seas with this tabletop gaming brig miniature! She is armed with 18 heavy carronades, and 2 medium long chase guns. This kit is based on the USS Argus.

USS Argus was built in 1803, and served with distinction for a decade, with Action in Tripoli, the Barbary wars, and the War of 1812.

She was the ship of Marine legend Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon, who stormed the batteries of Derna after Argus and the squadron with her had silenced the city’s guns.

During the War of 1812, she cruised the Atlantic coast taking six prizes while evading a British squadron for 3 days! She then broke out of blockade at New York and carried diplomatic officials to France before setting sail on a commerce raiding cruise where she captured and burned 19 vessels before her luck ran out. Exhaustion, and perhaps, overconsumption of wine from her last prize made the crew less then up to fighting shape when HMS Pelican spotted the smoke from her final burning prize.

Pelican had been sent to hunt down Argus to stop the massive destruction of shipping that was making insurance rates sky high! With the lucky spotting of the smoke, Pelican was able to close in. Argus was lighter armed but chose to fight rather then run despite being faster and able to escape. Thus, Argus was captured, ending her career August 14, 1813.

She features SLA 3D printed hull and rig parts with wood dowel and floral wire masting. This kit comes un-painted, and un-assembled. The ship hull measures 10 x 2.75 centimeters and is suited for 5 to 6MM scale war gaming.

This model features 3D printed parts: There are two types of 3D printed parts we use in our products. "FDM" is lower cost, and is what most would recognize as traditional 3D printing. This type of model printed in layers from thermal plastic (generally PLA or PETG), and is lightweight with reasonable detail but will have visible striation (or lines) that the hobbyist may want to clean up using putty, primer, or other hobby techniques. "SLA" is a laser cured photo-resin that has exceptional detail, and generally has a much smoother finish without significantly noticeable striation. This type of material is more expensive, and fine details can be more delicate. Some models may use either or both types of parts, and some models may have the ability for the buyer to select the print type under print options. These models are intended to be painted and may come in different colors.
