I used to sell those directly on Shapeways. They were specific to Bethlehem Fletchers and were modeled on Heerman specifically. I’ll look into Thang, as that may be what Shapeways and in demand printing will come back as.

My pre-tariff Fletcher is inbound and should arrive by mid-week. I'm going through Rick Davis' Round-bridge Fletcher book and trying to come up with a different armament configuration than the kit version
I know that Model Monkey lists tubs for the forward twin 40s and he offers after tubs for the aft quad 40s. Is anyone aware of some waist twin 40 tubs with clip shack supports? Also, I an looking for the fantail teardrop tub and the teardrop tub between mounts 53 and 54.
I can upscale PE parts to make one of the several 20mm tubs on the face of the bridge. But having someone do the work for me would be nice.
What I think I'd ultimately like to do is what Davis calls the 'Accidental' Six Twin 40mm configuration. A captain's choice one-off configuration that even the Navy said needed to be fixed.
