The Benchy has finally run aground! 🌊🏖,
Now called The Beached Benchy.
This rustic, abandoned little boat has been transformed into a detailed sea-shore scene, sitting half in the water and half stranded on the shore. The base features simulated rolling waves and textured water, flowing naturally into a raised, textured sandy beach and shoreline.
The Benchy itself has seen better days, with cracks and damage across the hull and cabin, giving it a weathered, abandoned appearance.
Two versions are included:
8T version: Designed for an 8-tool/colour setup, with additional colour detail and hull fouling to create a more aged, sea-worn appearance.
4T version: A simplified 4-tool/colour version that retains the same beached boat, waves, water, sand texture and shoreline scene.
A colourful little shipwreck scene that gives the classic Benchy a whole new destination... just not the one it originally planned. 😄 Safe sailing to you and your crew, fellow sailor!
Print Advice
Nothing really, no supports required. I simply just slowed down the first layer. The rest was the same as you'd do for a standard Benchy. I did print at 0.15mm layer height to give it a little more detail, and the added bonus was a crip overhang under the roof. A 0.2mm LH will be sufficient to avoid supports too.
For filaments, I can only suggest that the water is blue (I used transparent), and the sand is oak/wood/cream or ivory in colour. Make sure you check out the Project File for the customised paint job.
Enjoy
