I've at last taken the plunge into 3D printing ships for SOG, havinf always been a bit worried as to how the sails would come out. Here's Indefatigable and Anson, models available from Wargaming3D by Simon Mann https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/razee-44-gun-frigate/
My worries over the sails are allayed (even if they are a pain to align so the print well, and you still need to add lower masts from wire).

I'm still not entirely satisfied, the bowsprit and jibs come as separate pieces, in future I'd like to combine them in a single print piece to get the arrangement better than I achieved here. Working on some small craft now.
