Chocks Away
I have found a very small image in CAD format ,that I will modify in Tinkercad or FreeCAD for my next project.
Okay the starting point will be a 3D printed hull , that's just stage one.
I haven't a clue of how long I should make it , and the of what type of vessel I will be building .
At my age (the years are ticking by) I'm not really paranoid about becoming an Alzheimer’s Disease victim , but I must keep the little grey cells ticking over, that is why I'm starting this in Uncharted Waters Project for my wellbeing Col

Here are two kits I have that might be an inspiration. These are retouched box photos, but I can do some hi-res scans for you if they could be of some assistance.
The 16" Sphinx is an old Entex kit and the Otaki Long Beach is a larger at about 22 inches. I screwed up the perspective on the Sphinx a bit while trying to correct the perspective, but the general idea is there. I'll keep looking around...I might have something else that could be helpful.

I reckon it should be a beaut project, I can see it on the shelf alongside the Puffer and a few of my other models.
