Model Featured on 3DHawaii.com


http://3dhawaii.com/location/opana-point-radar-station Just received word that my model of the SCR 270B radar is featured on 3DHawaii.com, a website promoting tourism in Hawaii. The SCR 270B was the mobile radar unit that first spotted the hoard of Japanese planes coming to bomb Pearl Harbor. While I am not a radar enthusiast, my old USAF buddy, Chuck Varney, a retired engineer, is, and he challenged me to draw a Sketchup model of the radar, guided me through the technical aspects, to result in a very authentic model.

The Ross/America Building

This 3D model of the century-old Ross Building was added to the Historic Downtown Hattiesburg collection in the wake of recent nostalgic memories by those who inhabited its roof and environs during the 1990's alternative music era.
