Thornycroft Torpedo Boat

Post by RCTaylor »

Just finished this 3D model of an 1882 Thornycroft 62 Foot Torpedo Boat. Started it years ago and got back on it last month. One of my favorite boats, long, lean and mean.

Indeed, these ram-bows look mean, but using them for that would have been suicidal. These boats were built extremely light.

Is this also going to be prepared for 3D-printing ?
