Well then, here's a playable unit - U-87 Class Submarines!
The original model was destroyed a while back when my HD was infected. Here is the replacement...
These submarines had round hulls, instead of the "saddle tank" style of older submarines like the U-9 and U-19 classes.
Step 1 was creating a profile in wings3d with the blueprints...
Step 2 was modeling the hull form to the transverse dimension (X axis).
Step 3: Checking the skin coordinates in Wings3d. Special attention was paid to ease of skinning. One problem when I first started modeling for "Wolves of the Kaiser" was creating models that could not be skinned properly - so far, things look good with this one.
Next steps will be propellers, rudder, conning tower, and holes for vents/torpedo tubes. If you have any photos of this class, please let me know.
