SSN-571 (USS-Nautilus) information & 3D Modellers

nsomnia · 02-05-15, 11:38 AM

Hey all,

Decided to post here to try to get some info since the Indie Sub Games forum is pretty dead.

I've decided to turn my U-boat sim game into a cold war sub sim after seeing how far WoTA has come. Im working hard to model the interior of the USS Nautilus.

Does anyone have any information on her equipment (model numbers, specs etc), as well as drawings (deck layouts, blueprints... anything). There is a TON of pictures on flickr from the floating museum in CT so I can model it all, but its hard to tell where to place everything.

Im hoping to have her pilot-able in a early alpha release within a few months at the most especially if I can get some help. Which brings me to my second point.

Does anyone want to help model her interior? Even the smallest bits? It'd be volunteer work, I could look at possible small payments in a few months time or a small cut of any future sales but mostly just for any sub fanatics that would love to see a cold war era sub sim and fast-track the alpha release.

I know im asking a lot but even just some information from people that know more about her than me (I only know what I can deciper from the museum pictures, the virtual tour and the few videos on youtube about her) you would think the Navy would have released blueprints by now (its been 60 years! Or someone would put in a FOI request (Im canadian and thus cant do so).

Anyone with expertise please chime in, PM, or email info@blendertek.com

(Is there any suggestions for other forums where people might have information/drawings on her? Ive signed up to submarinemuseums forums but the admin hasnt approved my registration yet)
