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.

RP Flip the Floating Instrument Platform

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.

Vanguard Class Submarine 1.2m

Posted on 23 January 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, General, Ships, Toys, Vehicle Models, Vehicles | Comments Off

The Vanguard-class submarines represent a cornerstone of the United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent capability and are among the most advanced ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) ever constructed. Developed to replace the aging Resolution-class submarines, these vessels were designed as part of the UK’s Trident program, which began in the 1980s.

Our 1.2 meter long Vanguard model. 3d printable by using a standard printer with 22x22cm printbed.

The decision to build the Vanguard class coincided with the purchase of the Trident II D5 ballistic missile system from the United States, marking a significant step in ensuring the continuation of Britain’s nuclear deterrent strategy. The Vanguard class embodies technological sophistication and strategic importance, maintaining the UK’s Continuous At-Sea Deterrence (CASD) policy, under which at least one submarine is always on patrol, ready to respond to threats at a moment’s notice.

Ironman diving suit

Posted on 16 January 2025 by yonetici in 3d models, Movie Props, Outdoor, Products, Ships, Submarine, Toys | Comments Off

The Petrie Ironman diving suit, invented by Captain Enos B. Petrie of Brooklyn, was a revolutionary advancement in deep-sea exploration during the early 20th century between 1902 and 1907. It marked a significant breakthrough in diving technology, allowing divers to operate at unprecedented depths with greater safety and efficiency. The suit, composed of aluminum alloy and weighing 450 pounds, was designed to maintain surface-level pressure, enabling the diver to avoid decompression sickness, also known as “the bends.” This innovation was a response to the limitations of traditional rubber diving suits with metal helmets, which were only effective at shallower depths and often left divers exhausted.
