Icebreaker files

Suur Tõll is an Estonian steam-powered icebreaker preserved in the Estonian Maritime Museum in Tallinn. She was originally built for the Russian Empire in 1914 by AG Vulcan in Stettin, Germany, as Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich. In 1917, she was taken over by the Bolsheviks and renamed Volynets. However, in 1918 she was captured by Finland and served as Wäinämöinen until 1922, when she was handed over to Estonia according to the Treaty of Tartu and renamed Suur Tõll. When Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, the icebreaker rejoined the Soviet fleet and was again named Volynets. She remained in service until 1985.

The Soviet Navy decided to sell the decommissioned icebreaker for scrap, and she was purchased by the Estonian Maritime Museum in 1987. The ship was given back her original Estonian name and was extensively renovated; Suur Tõll, the largest preserved pre-war icebreaker in the world, is currently moored at Lennusadam, the historical seaplane harbour in Tallinn.

Following set contains 183 STL files. The model is made in a scale of 1/75 and has the following dimensions (rounded). The provided files allow for the building of the ship in the versions "Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich" and "Wäinämöinen."

- Length - 1000mm
- Width - 220mm
- Height - 430mm

Max. printing volume (A x B x H): 157 x 195,3 x 250,6mm

I recommend to use FDM printer for massive parts and SLA for onces with fine detailization. The hull is printed in 4 sections and should fit in a 3d printer with a 256mm x 256mm x 256mm build volume. I suggest to use PETG and "ABS-like" resin. And of course, a transparent polymer for the illuminators. 

This is not a beginner print! This model intended for the experienced model builder.

The model is optimized for RC equipment and LED lights smoke imitator installation. Along with the assembly instructions, the kit includes a list of components that the customer needs to purchase independently.
