LCM 6 and 8 Boat Landing Craft

thingiverse

This is a heavy remix of m_bergman's excellent LCM boat to replicate a LCM-6 and an LCM-8 assault boat, as used by the Navy from well before the 60's to well past the 90's. I drove these types of boats in the Navy and my current project is to replicate the ship I was stationed on for years - U.S.S. St. Louis, LKA-116. And of course, that cannot be done without a full complement of 6 and 8 boats. They are not meant to be exact replicas, but should suit the purpose. I will be working on the Charleston-class amphibious cargo ship using the great JohnButtery Liberty ship model 4411101 as the base, with needed tweaks. Both the .3mf and the .stl file can be downloaded. As I progress on the St. Lou I will post updates here, as well. USS St. Louis LKA 116 project: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5198907
