Is there a SeaQuest?

[THE DC]

Ok; this is a long shot.

Did anyone ever make a SeaQuest DSV submarine paper model?

I have found a 3D model file, but nothing on the web of a complete model.

Looking for a deserving novice builder who asked!

I do not think that there is a paper model template for the SeaQuest DSV. I remember that there were a few members talking about it. However, because of the complex curves of the ship, it would be very difficult to make. WIth that being said, I think that the project was dropped.

Shame, but I see your point. The front hull and rear hull would be possible, but the center hangar area is such a globe, and the curved areas leading to it with the gas in between the fore and aft hull...

Your probably right about the difficulty.

I think the recent release of the show on BluRay generated the request...

I couldn't make the shape of the ship and I watched the whole series! The link below had the most thorough information I've ever sen on that ship.

That's a great site! Lots of cool detail. I didn't realize that the show had such a devoted fan base.

I found a 3D model online, in stl format, but when I tried converting it to png or jpg, I was not very successful.

I'm wondering whether I cold get it converted into parts, like in Pepekura, then hand paint the exterior...just a thought...

IF you are familiar with Sketchup, this might help you turn the .stl file into a Sketchup file:

I don’t, but I will learn!

I have a program on my Mac called Sketchbook…I’ll try that first.

Then I’ll look at your path and use my PC at my office if not.

I appreciate the suggestion. I need to learn to CAD so I can do this stuff myself. I have Pepkura on the PC but never learned to unfold; only to open files.

It’s time to push myself and this is a good cause!!!

Thanks!

Great to hear that you are going to learn to design this model. Im looking forward to see your progress. And if you have any questions we are here to help you.

When you are working with compound curves it is easier to start with a very basic and simple shape, like a hexagon. Push and pull it to shape and when you are satisfied start adding faces by subdivision, drawing new lines or such.

Is it possible to take screenshots and break them down into forms, or better to start scratch?

I know there were those stealing images from video games and movie (when enough angles were provided), and on the age of AI, it made me wonder?
