History, Design, and Our 1:24 Scale 3D Printable Model

The Tupolev G-5 occupies a unique place in naval history as one of the most distinctive fast attack craft of the interwar and early Second World War period. Designed in the early 1930s by the Tupolev Design Bureau, the G-5 was the Soviet Union’s answer to the growing demand for high-speed torpedo boats capable of striking larger surface vessels and withdrawing before retaliation. Built primarily from duralumin, the same lightweight alloy used in aircraft construction, the G-5 reflected its aviation heritage in both material choice and overall design philosophy.

Compact, aggressively streamlined, and extraordinarily fast for its time, the G-5 was capable of speeds exceeding 50 knots under ideal conditions, making it one of the fastest military vessels of its era. It carried its torpedoes externally, launched rearward from open cradles—a bold and unconventional solution that allowed the hull to remain slim and hydrodynamically efficient. Over its service life, the G-5 appeared in numerous configurations, with variations in armament, deck equipment, crew layout, and superstructure, adapting to changing combat requirements throughout the 1930s and into World War II.

A 1-Meter Articulated Mega Model: Pride of Imperial China Reborn in 3D

The late 19th century was an era of iron, steam, and unprecedented naval ambition. As European powers carved their empires across the globe with steam-powered fleets, the Qing Dynasty faced a stark choice: modernize or perish. The result was one of the most remarkable warships ever to sail under the Chinese flag—the Dingyuan-class ironclad battleship. Now, through the precision of modern 3D printing technology, this engineering marvel has been reborn as a meticulously detailed, fully articulated one-meter model that captures both the grandeur and the tragedy of Imperial China’s greatest naval endeavor.

Qing-Class Submarine

Posted on 15 January 2026 by yonetici in 3d models, Submarine, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

Interpreting a Modern Naval Enigma Through 3D Modeling

The Qing-class submarine represents one of the most modern and least publicly documented submarine designs to emerge in recent decades. As a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) developed by China, it occupies a strategic role that is inherently opaque, with limited officially released plans, drawings, or dimensional data. This combination of technological significance and visual secrecy makes the Qing class both fascinating and challenging to interpret—particularly for modelers working without access to authoritative blueprints.

Our Qing-class 3D model is therefore not a literal reproduction, but a carefully researched and technically reasoned interpretation. Publicly available photographs, satellite imagery, comparative analysis with earlier Chinese submarine classes, and established submarine design principles were used to reconstruct the vessel’s overall proportions, hull geometry, and defining external features. Where reliable information ends, informed design judgment begins—always with the goal of maintaining visual plausibility, structural coherence, and a clean, manufacturable result.

USS Growler (SSG-577) 3D model

A Cold War Missile Submarine and It’s Mighty Weapon the Regulus 1, Recreated in 3D

The USS Growler (SSG-577) occupies a unique and transitional place in naval history. Conceived during the early years of the Cold War, Growler was part of the U.S. Navy’s first serious attempt to field a submarine-launched strategic missile capability. Long before ballistic missile submarines became dominant, vessels like Growler were designed around the Regulus cruise missile, a large, aircraft-like weapon that required deck storage, surface launch, and complex handling procedures. This requirement fundamentally shaped the submarine’s appearance, resulting in its most recognizable feature: the massive twin missile hangars integrated into the forward deck.

Offshore Tug Azimuth Propelled

Posted on 10 January 2026 by yonetici in 3d models, Ships, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

A One-Meter Mega Project for Serious Builders

Offshore support vessels are among the most visually striking and mechanically complex working ships ever built. Designed to operate in harsh conditions, support offshore energy infrastructure, and perform demanding towing and handling tasks, these vessels combine raw power with dense, highly functional deck layouts. Our Offshore Tug – Premium 1-Meter 3D Printable Mega Project is inspired by this world, drawing clear lineage from the well-known ESVAGT Dana while intentionally reinterpreting and optimizing the design for advanced 3D printing and long-term model building.

At approximately one meter in length, this model is conceived as a flagship project rather than a quick build. The overall proportions, superstructure arrangement, and general character unmistakably echo the real vessel, but many surface details, structural solutions, and interfaces have been deliberately adjusted. These changes improve printability, increase durability, and make the assembly process more forgiving at large scale.

A Great Lakes Workhorse Reimagined in 3D

The Arthur M. Anderson is one of the most recognizable bulk carriers ever to sail the Great Lakes. Built during an era when industrial capability, endurance, and sheer physical presence defined commercial vessels, the Anderson represents a class of ships designed not for elegance, but for reliability and relentless service. For decades, she operated in demanding freshwater conditions, hauling iron ore and bulk cargo through narrow channels, heavy weather, and long seasonal cycles. Her story is inseparable from the working history of the Great Lakes and the communities and industries that depended on them.

Sjöormen-Class Submarine

Posted on 10 January 2026 by yonetici in 3d models, Submarine, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

Swedish Innovation Beneath the Surface:

The Sjöormen-class submarines occupy a unique and important place in Cold War naval history. Introduced by Sweden in the late 1960s, the class represented a decisive break from traditional submarine design thinking and placed Swedish underwater engineering at the forefront of diesel–electric submarine development. Built for operations in the confined, shallow, and acoustically complex waters of the Baltic Sea, these submarines prioritized stealth, maneuverability, and hydrodynamic efficiency over raw size or speed. As a result, the Sjöormen class became widely respected—both publicly and quietly within naval circles—for its advanced design choices and remarkably low acoustic signature.

Modular 3D Model File Packs for Serious Ship Modelers

Posted on 09 January 2026 by yonetici in 3d models, Movie Props, Ships, Vehicle Accesories, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

We design 3D model file packs as reusable engineering libraries rather than single-use kits. Our approach is based on modularity, mechanical believability, and long-term value: once added to your digital workshop, these packs can be reused across multiple projects, scales, and eras. Whether you are building a historic sailing ship, a Cold War submarine, or a modern offshore vessel, our file packs are designed to integrate naturally into your workflow and expand what you can create.
