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.

Posted on 06 June 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, Boats, Ships, Vehicle Models | Comments Off

Once upon a time in the vibrant heart of the Ottoman Empire, a grand vision was set into motion—the creation of the Abdülkadir ironclad warship. Though its story took a different turn than originally intended, the tale of this unfinished marvel remains an intriguing chapter in naval history.

In the mid-19th century, as naval technology advanced rapidly, the Ottoman Empire sought to bolster its maritime strength. The plan to construct a fleet of ironclad warships was born, and among these was the Abdülkadir. This ironclad was envisioned as a symbol of the empire’s modernization and technological ambition.

Designed to be a floating fortress, the Abdülkadir was intended to feature a robust iron-plated hull and powerful armament, capable of withstanding and delivering formidable blows in naval battles. It was to be a testament to the ingenuity of Ottoman engineers and shipbuilders.

Posted on 14 April 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, Boats, General, Products, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

Sultanhisar was a torpedo boat of the Ottoman Navy. She was built in 1907 by Schneider & Cie in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, and transferred the same year to Turkey (more info on Schneider 38m class torpedo boats). She is best known for her action during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I as she sank Royal Australian Navy submarine HMAS AE2 in the Sea of Marmara and captured her crew.

As of 16 October 1912, Sulthanisar was assigned to the Bosporus Fleet Command. From 19 December 1912 on, she served at the Armoured Warship Division.

During the naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign of World War I, the torpedo boat Sultanhisar was tasked with patrolling in the Dardanelles Strait. In addition, she daily transported German general Otto Liman von Sanders, who was the adviser and military commander of the Ottoman Army, between Eceabat and Gallipoli. On 29 April 1915, she received orders to return to Constantinople by sailing along the west coast of the Sea of Marmara. On the way, Commander Ali Rıza Bey changed his route and sailed eastwards in response to reports of the presence of a possible enemy submarine in that area.

AE-2 and Sultanhisar Sea Battle

Posted on 13 April 2024 by yonetici in 3d models, Boats, General, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

In the annals of naval history, there are battles that stand out not just for their strategic significance but also for the sheer audacity and courage displayed by the sailors involved. One such remarkable encounter took place during World War I in the waters of the Marmara Sea, where the Australian submarine AE-2 faced off against the formidable Sultanhisar torpedo boat, creating a saga of bravery and maritime prowess.

The stage was set in April 1915, a time when the Great War was raging across Europe and its theaters extending into the Mediterranean. The Ottoman Empire, a key player in the conflict, controlled vital sea routes in the eastern Mediterranean, posing a threat to Allied shipping and military operations. The Allies, including Australia, were keen to establish naval dominance in these waters.

Gotland and A26 Class Submarines

Posted on 29 August 2022 by yonetici in 3d models, Boats, General, Submarine, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

The Gotland-class submarines of the Swedish Navy are modern diesel-electric submarines, which were designed and built by the Kockumsshipyard in Sweden. They are the first submarines in the world to feature a Stirling engineair-independent propulsion (AIP) system, which extends their underwater endurance from a few days to weeks. This capability had previously only been available with nuclear-powered submarines. Read More on Wikipedia.

I modeled the sub to be easily printable. Also made the newer swedish sub A26 with its distinctive sail design.
