sub blueprints needed

DavyJonesFootlocker · 04-10-08, 07:01 AM

Hiya folks! I've tried searching the net for some decent 3-way views of subs but came up wanting. Anyone has any or know a site for any? The more details on the plans the better. It's for a private project in 3D I'm planning so any assistance would be appreciated.

You didn't say what era, I'm assuming WW2 subs? Also, what country / class. Modelling websites tend to have some very good quality downloadable plans.

Mainly WW2 Axis or Allied dosen't matter.

www.the-blueprints.com has a lot of blueprints, incl. Ships and Submarines, did you check there?

Thanks guys! In my class they wanted me to do the HMS Hood. I thought they were nuts and when I checked out the details on the ship I went stark raving mad. I bribed, begged and almost kidnapped my tutor but she eventually relented and said it was ok to do a sub.

Yes, the Type II looks good in fact there's enough views and cross-sections to get me started. In 3DS MAX I can use them to get a more or less accurate shape of the hull and use the actual dimenisons of the real Type II to get the model's dimensions. Hope I get this right. It's going to be high-poly. I'm used to modeling 3D aircraft. Time to dive into the sea.

Naval Historical Ships Association has basic build plans of the USS Sand Lance...

http://hnsa.org/doc/pdf/ss381.pdf ... but there are no dimensions.

Here are some compartmentalized cut-aways from the Fleet Boat manual...

http://hnsa.org/doc/fleetsub/appendix/index.htm

Plus, the Fleet Boat manual has a lot of component figures and pictures, as well.

I did a general "submarine" search and they have a lot of good stuff in there.
