The aftcastle skull was a great place to start the print. The model prints very easy. I only experienced a few problems during printing, and they were due to clogging print heads or getting the temperature right to avoid whiskers. I did have to do a fair amount of trimming under the deck boards of scragly material. In some cases that material was needed to support the deck planking. The bone patterns and connections line up well. The dragon figure head was a bit fussy to print and attach. I broke it several times and eventually had to skip using the ful clips. I'm not sure if it was from shrinkage in the prow receiver of the clip or just the competing angles of the clips. It still attached and looks pretty good. I have not tried to paint any of it yet, but I printed in white to give it a good enough look without paint.
