Ton-Class Minesweepers

The Silent Workhorses of the Cold War

During the tense decades of the Cold War, the Royal Navy quietly operated a fleet of specialized vessels designed not for battle, but for survival—of fleets, ports, and shipping lanes. These were the Ton-class minesweepers, an unglamorous yet vital class of ships that ensured safe passage through mine-infested waters across the globe. Though small in size, their contribution to post-war naval security and NATO maritime operations was significant.

(wood paneling seen in the renderings are textures only, the 3D model has flat deck surfaces.)

This article includes a 1m 3D model of the Ton Class that can be printed, painted and used for display purposes. The interior of the model is empty and hull has approximately 5-6mm thickness all around making this model a candidate to be converted to a remote controlled boat. There is also a free STL file for a tabletop display model of the Hull Class. You can download it by using the link at the end of the article. Enjoy and please share this page on your social media.

Timber and Thunder: Ship of the Line

Posted on 04 May 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, Boats, Outdoor, Ships, Vehicle Models | Comments Off

The Formidable, Flawed Majesty of the Warship of the Line

At the height of its era, the warship of the line was not just a vessel—it was an entire philosophy floating on timber and ambition. These ships were instruments of empire and emblems of statehood, their hulls stitched together with thousands of bolts, manned by hundreds of souls, and propelled by the complex interplay of wind, geometry, and blind luck.

Despite their stately appearances in oil paintings, life aboard these vessels was far from graceful. It was disciplined chaos, wrapped in a broadsided ballet of firepower and carried across oceans on sails the size of apartment buildings.

USS Greeneville Nuclear Attack Submarine

Posted on 03 May 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Submarine, Vehicle Models | Comments Off

In the shadowy depths of the world’s oceans lurks a metal shark with a nuclear heart—the USS Greeneville, one of the most spirited troublemakers in the illustrious Los Angeles-class of submarines. This is not your grandfather’s rusty U-boat; the Greeneville is a 6,000-ton underwater Ferrari armed with torpedoes, missiles, and enough sonar gear to make a dolphin jealous. She’s been patrolling the deep since 1996, and if submarines had high school yearbooks, the Greeneville would’ve been voted “Most Likely to Accidentally Bump Into Things.” One of her more famous (okay, infamous) moments came in 2001, when she surfaced under a Japanese fishing vessel during a demonstration for civilian guests. No one said nuclear-powered stealth boats were great at parties.

RP Flip the Floating Instrument Platform

Posted on 24 March 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Outdoor, Products, Ships, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

The Ship That Flips!

Imagine you’re sailing on a ship, the sun is shining, the waves are gentle… and suddenly, the entire vessel starts tilting backward like a sinking submarine! Panic? Nope. If you’re aboard the RP FLIP, this is just another day at work.

The Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) is not your average research ship—it’s the ultimate party trick of oceanography. Built in 1962 by the U.S. Navy and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, FLIP was designed for one thing: flipping! Unlike normal ships, it can stand vertically in the water, like a giant floating thermometer. How? Well, about 90% of its 108-meter (355-foot) length is just a hollow, ballast-filled tube. To “flip,” the crew floods the rear compartments with water, and slowly—over the course of 20–30 minutes—the ship tips up until it’s completely vertical. It’s like watching a giant whale doing a slow-motion backflip, except it never falls over.

19 saparate pieces are freely downloadable at the end of this article. Please continue reading to download.

We also have a high-poly version with interlocking details and bulkheads between parts for easier printing-assembly and stronger model. Convertable to RC. You can get it from here.

The SS Edmund Fitzgerald 3d Model

Posted on 10 March 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, Ships, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

She was more than just a freighter—it was an icon of Great Lakes shipping, a vessel that carried both massive cargo and an air of prestige. When it was launched in 1958 at the Great Lakes Engineering Works in River Rouge, Michigan, it was the largest ship ever to sail the Great Lakes, stretching an impressive 729 feet from bow to stern. Built to transport iron ore from mines in Minnesota to steel mills across the Midwest, the Fitzgerald was a titan of industry, capable of hauling over 26,000 tons of taconite pellets in a single trip. Its size and reputation quickly earned it a variety of nicknames, from the “Pride of the American Side” to the “Titanic of the Great Lakes.” Owned by the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company—one of the few insurers to directly own a ship—it was considered a prime investment, and the company spared no expense in making it one of the finest freighters on the water.

Kilo Class Russian Submarine

Posted on 28 February 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Products, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

The Kilo-class submarine is like the ninja of the seas—stealthy, deadly, and almost impossible to detect. Built by the Russians, these diesel-electric attack submarines have been around since the 1980s, and despite their age, they’re still making waves (literally). NATO gave them the name “Kilo-class,” but the Russians call them Project 877 Paltus, and the upgraded versions go by Project 636 Varshavyanka—because apparently, long, complicated names make things sound cooler.

Holland 1 Submarine 1m model free downlad

Posted on 19 February 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Outdoor, Products, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

John Philip Holland, an Irish-born engineer and inventor, was a visionary whose daring spirit and ingenuity helped shape the future of submarine warfare. His journey into underwater navigation began with a bold and risky experiment: the construction and personal testing of a one-man submarine in 1878.

At a time when the concept of a practical, fully submersible vessel was met with skepticism, Holland refused to be discouraged. Instead, he designed and built a 14-foot-long experimental submarine, known as Holland I, which was powered by a simple hand-cranked propulsion system and equipped with ballast tanks for controlled submersion.

Walter V-80 Experimental Submarine

Posted on 09 February 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

The Walter V-80 was an experimental German submarine built during World War II to test the innovative Walter propulsion system, which used high-concentration hydrogen peroxide (T-Stoff) to generate steam for a turbine, allowing the submarine to operate underwater for extended periods without surfacing. This air-independent propulsion (AIP) system was a major advancement over conventional diesel-electric submarines, which had to surface frequently to recharge their batteries. The V-80 was constructed at the Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft shipyard in Kiel and was completed in 1940. It was a relatively small vessel, weighing 76 tons and carrying a crew of four.
