Ships One Piece Going Merry, mugiwara version

Greetings,

I have found a truly splendid Going Merry model to share, a model already enhanced by another individual, yet containing a single flaw: it was a “Chopper” version rather than the Mugiwara original.

Several others and myself desired the original version @harlow successfully recreated the original sail, I obtained a finely crafted flag from @gavin8tor17 , and I added elements to secure it to the mast.

I remastered the cabin_merry piece to incorporate the effect of floorboards, the sole floor piece lacking this detail.

Furthermore, I replaced the Chopper version's pine trees with Nami's mandarin trees.

Regarding the mandarin trees, I recommend adding 30% to 50% support.

To attach the mandarins, I gently heated the bush-like sections with a lighter or small blowtorch before applying the mandarin pieces, thus shaping the bushes for improved adhesion. Apply heat sparingly to avoid scorch marks.

For the flag, I suggest printing two copies and adhering them together to display the emblem on both sides, then securing this assembly to the mast. I reused an unused piece for the top and a ring for the base.

On plate 27, there is a selection for decorative spirals on the railings. These spirals were missing from the Chopper model; I endeavoured to add them.

Finally, in response to a request, I added a base (created by haaland) for the ship on the final plate.

I hope this model compilation assists those wishing to print the Going Merry.

My thanks to the aforementioned model creators.
