Here is the 3d model - so far. According to Wiki It is suppose to be about 325' above sea level, 385' tall if placed on seabed at that location, 276' east-west, and 184' north-south.

What I did was import a Gato class submarine model which should be about 312' in length and used that as a scale to get the Sofu Gan model size approximately right and hopefully orientated correctly on the x, y, z axis. These programs import and export models differently.

It is close but certainly not perfect and I am no 3d modeling guru. It is intended to be a representation of Sofu Gan, not an exact duplicate my crew can climb and measure.

So, I exported it as 3ds and obj. Now to figure out how to get it into the game.

- - then, watch it be upside down and balancing on a corner or floating on a side etc.... lol

Happy Hunting!
