Project: Pearl Harbor - Ford Island 1941 Diorama

Description:

The client has a collection of waterline WWII battleships that he wanted to display in a realistic setting.

This display recreates Ford Island, the location of "Battleship Row" in the Pearl Harbor Naval Base as it appeared just prior to the December 7, 1941 attack by the Imperial Japanese forces that launched the US into World War 2.

Sources for the geographic design included Google Earth and period photos available online, one of which was an aerial photo from a Japanese plane. The large building, the BOQ or Bachelor Offices Quarters was designed in 3D and 3D printed.
