Reconstruction of a Landing Craft Infantry, 1944

3D ModelNoAI

A model of a World War Two Landing Craft Infantry (LCI) as it would have appeared in the European Theatre of Operations (ETO) prior to Operation Overlord, otherwise known as D-Day in June 1944. Over 900 of these vessels were completed for the Allied forces serving in both the Pacific and Europe. The LCI could carry around 200 troops who would disembark via side ramps onto the shore, the vessel typically beaching itself in order to do so. This model was built for a reconstruction image on information panels of slipways in Dartmouth. It was made using Maya and Substance Painter/Designer and based off plans and contemporary photographs by members of the 3D Studio team at Wessex Archaeology.
