PC-11 USS Whirlwind (3D design and build)
Cyclone Class Patrol Ship

This was my first attempt to design, print and build a model using Blender. Over two (2) years, I learned how to use Blender to design and build the components for the ship. I had an extensive amount of growing pains, going through twelve (12) different versions of designing before getting to the end. Everything except for the brass screw shafts, photo-etch walkways grates, copper wire antennas, anchor chain, railing and crane cables, and the flag were 3D printed. The completed ship was a gift for a close friend who served on the Whirlwind. (No I did not put the coffee maker on the bridge, but there is a six-pack of beer in the rigid inflatable).
