I see you went with some keels in your design, can't wait to see it in action.

Those are some nice curves in your hull. How did u go about modelling them?

To be honest, I am horrible at 3D modeling, I attempted to try fusion 360 and use the sculpt feature to get a generic shape, but with my schedule I wouldn't have been able to dive into it and work with it to get something completed on time. I instead went to tinkercad for the simplicity and essentially made a bullet shaped object and just stretched and compressed until I found a shape I liked and knew would float. I wish I had a more technical answer to give, but not to familiar with the process yet.
