To 3D Modelers: I just started a Build log on Ships Of Scale you may be interested in. Here is a copy of the post.

Since late 2025 of have been designing a scratch-build of a Rum Chaser Prohibition Patrol Boat of the 1928 - 1930s. I am using 3D software and the final model will be 3D printed. If you are interested in all the steps and details involved follow along. I am well along on the project and should be able to post frequently to catch you up. I will post mostly things a model builder would find interesting. Please request more details if needed. If you would like to see my 3D design level and model building skills visit my Carl Whitten Artist on Youtube or my 3D designs on Cults3D.

My first post: The picture shows my designed model for my first post and what to expect as a finished model.

Next post: Gathering research photos and plans. 3D software used.
