ORCA search and rescue hydrofoil
-
Was a bit bored on an end of summer day so I fished out an old model I had never done anything with and with a few modifications and a background image, a bit of Photoshop, I was able to pass an hour or so of free time. As always please let me know what you think, comments and critiques are always welcome.

cool

Thanks Smokin glad you liked it

Cool image I mean really cold....is that an iceberg I see floating in the water.

I will definitely add a maple leaf and yeah there are icebergs in Canada so it works nicely... I did add inflatable bumpers around the perimeter of the craft so it should just bounce off the icebergs very easily.

I still don't understand how hydrofoils work! nice image pal
-
Really well put together model and presentation Bob

-
...That would make a bad-azz, personal, cold-weather jetski

Awesome job on the model and image!!

Thanks for allreat complements... just an excuse to use Sketchup and Photshop before I forget how!

looks more like a hovercraft to me
-
A hovercraft was definitely the starting point for the model, but the "skirt" was reduced down to an inflatable bumper like that of a rigid inflateable... I think I will tackle a hovercraft as one of the next projects.
