Anchors aweigh and full steam ahead! This 3D model features a charismatic Boat Captain navigating his speedboat, designed in the popular "Pop" or "Chibi" style.

The figure is full of nautical details: from the peaked cap with the anchor emblem and laurels on the visor, to the uniform jacket with epaulets and golden buttons. The captain holds the helm of a small recreational boat detailed with a windshield, railings, and seats.

It's the ideal gift for yacht skippers, sailing enthusiasts, sailors, or collectors of custom figures.

Print Details / Print Details

This model combines organic shapes (the character) with geometric ones (the boat), thus requiring a balanced setup.

  • Recommended material: White PLA. It is the easiest to paint and best conceals layer lines on the boat's hull.
  • Layer height:
    • 0.12mm to 0.16mm: Highly recommended so that the details of the cap, beard, and boat railings come out defined.
    • 0.20mm: Acceptable if you want a faster print, but you will have to sand the boat's hull more to make it smooth.
  • Infill: 10% - 15%.
  • Supports (Essential):
    • The boat's hull: Being curved and elevated above the base, it will need supports on the underside.
    • The head: The chin and the back of the cap will need support.
    • Overhangs: Pay attention to the hands on the steering wheel.
    • Tip: Use tree supports to facilitate removal, especially around the delicate railings of the speedboat.

Post-processing and Painting / Post-processing

To achieve the finish of the reference photo ("realistic render"), follow this color scheme:

  • Uniform: Dark navy blue (Navy Blue).
  • Cap and Boat: Pure white.
  • Gold Details: Use gold or yellow paint for the sleeve epaulets, buttons, cap emblem, and the "laurels" on the visor.
  • Base: A different blue than the uniform (more cyan or sea blue) to simulate water.
  • Eyes: Shiny black to give that characteristic Pop doll effect.

Fair winds and following seas! I hope you enjoy printing this captain. If you do, upload a photo of your crew.
