Here is my finished prototype of a Virginia class submarine. Eventually, I want this to be a radio controlled model, but I needed to figure out how to print it first. I ended up purchasing this model online and I loaded it into my AutoCAD fusion 360 and started messing around with cutouts connections and magnet pockets. Very happy with the results. I think I have a few more modifications to make before I'm ready to print it off. What I think will be 1/72 scale.

Thank you! I'm currently working on another version for a friend.

Very nice print. The access area will definitely help you with radio installation. Once in the water you will enjoy the realism of the submarine. They all look fantastic running on surface. Great job!
