HO Scale 5"/38 Dual Mount
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need an accurate 3-D recreation of the U.S. Navy 5"/38 dual-purpose gun mount, sized precisely for HO scale. The finished file is for a display piece, so visual fidelity is everything—every latch, rivet line, recoil cylinder and sight hood must be present, not just hinted at. I can supply several clear reference photos of an existing mount; beyond those, you will need to rely on your own naval-history resources or general drawings readily found online to fill any gaps.
Please model the part cleanly for resin printing, with sane wall thicknesses and integral supports kept to a minimum. I am comfortable receiving a watertight STL (or STEP if you prefer parametric) as the final deliverable, together with a brief note confirming scale dimensions so I can cross-check before slicing.
If you have questions about specific sub-assemblies—elevating gear, training rings, or ready-service lockers—let me know early so I can hunt down more imagery. A short turnaround is appreciated, but the quality of the surface detail comes first.
