3d printed MV Sewol ferry model that sinks
In April 16, 2014, 102 years and 1 day after Titanic did, a ferry ship in South Korea called Sewol sank, taking the lives of 304 people, including 250 children on a field trip to Jeju Island. The event exposed the incompetence and corruption surrounding the government, company, and captain of the ship.
But the point is that I made a model of it. Using images I found of the ship online, I did multiple 3d scans to get the right appearance and edited them into an accurate creation of the ferry, then printed them out to make the ship, making it in a way so the ship would sink accurately to the real deal after floating a bit. Sorry that I didn't take any pictures of the interior of the model, but I put an upside down bulkhead near the prow so water would enter there last in order to get the ship's bow bulb to stick out before it went under.
Please note that this model is NOT to disrespect the families of the victims or justify the actions of the perpetrators; it is just a project I made for fun because I didn't see anyone else do it first.
