These are pressure-cast from de-aired molds to minimize air bubbles. Only the larger parts (hull, deck pieces and funnels)are cast resin. These parts meet and often exceed what is possible with injection molded plastic. All of the smaller parts are printed on ultra-high resolution 3D SLA resin printers. All design work was done in CAD by Ken Friend, a master modeler, designer and builder of experimental engines and test equipment and an engineer who specialized in CAD/CAM/CAE Systems Management and Implementation. This four year project is a 100% new model and represents the Rex in her glory years of the mid 1930s. Finally, the Pride of the Italian Line in 1/350 scale! The SS Rex is from the same team that brought you the 1/350 SS Normandie Ocean Liner.
