1:2000 scale MS Estonia cruise ship model (high-precision waterline version)

The MS Estonia was a renowned Estonian passenger ferry, built in 1980, that operated on the route between Finland and Sweden. Its modern design boasted a length of 155.4 meters and a width of 24.2 meters, accommodating nearly a thousand passengers. On September 28, 1994, the M/S Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea, resulting in the loss of 852 lives, making it one of Europe's most devastating maritime disasters since World War II. This tragedy profoundly impacted maritime safety standards and regulations, leaving an indelible mark on history.

This 1:2000 scale model of the Estonia measures approximately 7cm in length, retaining nearly all of the original ship's iconic features. Its precision is exceptional, and it's designed for single-plate printing, requiring no assembly. Owing to my possession of only an AMS Lite, the color palette has been simplified to four shades—black, white, gray, and silver—to ensure compatibility with my AMS Lite.

I used the default nozzle and a high-precision print with a 0.12mm layer height. Although time-consuming, the result is impeccable. For those short on time, a 0.2mm layer height will also suffice.
