How to Build a Wicked Cool Tinkercad Battleship in Minutes

[Music] Good day friends it is me HLModech  and a user Victoria requested a battleship so   my friends let's get crackin so my friends first  things first let's hit create new design let's   rename our file so we can keep track of it this  will be battleship and of course I like to put   my initials after it just cuz it keeps track of  whose is whose the start of our ship is gonna be   created within all shape there are many awesome  shape generators out here we need to go to page   13 to find an amazing one called the boat hull  when you bring it in we are gonna change a few   numbers you can of course adjust these like  crazy but these are what I'm choosing I want   a stern length of 20 so that it's a little more  rounded I want a mid length of 125 so we've got   a lot of ship to play with I'm gonna keep the bow  length and then I want you to make the beam 40 and   I want you to make the depth 25 that is gonna be  our battleships hull now I want you to take that   and do duplicate which is also control D move that  one to the side and then I want you to duplicate   again and lift this one up five millimeters make  it a whole and then group those two shapes and   check it out you have just instantly cut out your  boat's hull how sweet is that I'm not gonna put   anything in there in this project but at least  now we've got the ability we need to make a deck   and we're gonna do that over here let's go back to  basic shapes let's find the whole box let's set it   past the left edge stretch it all the way across  grab that black handle that's underneath stretch   it way past the front notice I made mine 20 high  I'm gonna do ctrl D I'm gonna raise the new one   up and then so I get the exact right thickness  I'm gonna hit the work plane and I'm gonna set   it on this cube I'm gonna take this one and hit D  to drop and then I'm gonna do control up one two   so my deck is gonna be two millimeters thick grab  those three shapes notice that selection rectangle   touched all three and when we hit group we have  just made a perfectly sized hole I'm going to   put the work plane back to the ground so I just  click work plane click the blue edge grab those   two shapes double-check that it says two and  hit a line and then I want to align it to the   boat so if I click the boat BAM there's my metal  button and it is exactly where I want but notice   the line shows up here's how we fix that if we  change this to 0.25 if we do control up it goes   up a half a millimeter and all of a sudden those  lines are gone and we've got a deck to build our   ship on before we go any further let's take a look  at battleship images when we hit this it shows us   that battleships quite often have a couple of guns  and a sweet Tower you can see here this towers got   all kinds of fancy shapes of course there are lots  of other things on this but we're gonna make sure   we have the two guns and the central tower you  can go back and forth to whatever pictures you   want but that's what my plan is all right let's  build the command center let's put a work plane   so we're dropping the command center here let's  build it with a polygon I want to use a funky   five sided shape and then I want to make sure that  that's aimed to the front so I'm gonna rotate it   twenty-two and a half degrees and boom that'll be  my control tower I'm gonna move it back wherever   I want I am gonna align it by clicking the ship  and clicking that middle button now I'm gonna use   a trick right now it's 18 points something on  each side I'm gonna do alt shift and I'm gonna   stretch it up by holding alt shift see how it  stays around the middle I'm gonna give that to   the size I like mine's gonna be 25 it looks like  now people can walk around it but I've also got a   sweet command center all right I'm gonna take this  height from 25 I'm gonna shrink it to 10 friends   I want my command and control center to have two  different levels so what I'm gonna do is put my   work plane up here and then I'm gonna click on  that bottom one and do control D and when I hit   the letter D it drops to that next level I'm gonna  then click on it and hold down alt and shift and   make it a little smaller notice it raises it up  so I'm gonna just hit D and drop it down now I   want to hollow this out as well so I'm going to do  control D again I'm gonna hold down alt and shift   I'm gonna make that seven point six even smaller  and then watch this if we click on the outside   one and we make it a solid but transparent we can  see that inside one with its levels and everything   like that we're gonna hide this one and we're  gonna make this one a hole we're gonna do show   and we group those two pieces it is hollow inside  I want to cut in windows so that they can see out   we're gonna do that by putting the workplane on  the front bringing out another of those whole   boxes I'm gonna just use these rectangles to get  it to the size I want so that people can see out   but I do want to have a level that they can stand  so it's not a window that shows everything I can   shrink this down a lot but then I'm gonna push  it in I need to make it skinnier on this side and   that I like so now to make two of these I'm gonna  check the measurements so that's nine by gonna be   three so then I just go over here once again  do the word plane bring out my rectangle but   this time I know that number is nine this number  is three I'm gonna hold down shift and click on   this shape and when I do a line I'm gonna say I  want them both to be the same level this way now   because I've got the work plane here I can just  use the arrows notice I hit control Z to undo   that I'm clicking on this shape and now I can just  use the arrows to push it where I want let's look   at it from a top corner same as last time we can  shrink it down but then push it in so that it cuts   let's grab those three shapes and when we group  them we have now got windows in to our battleship   control center turn off transparency and it looks  pretty cool but I want another one of those so I'm   gonna set my work plane on top I'm gonna do ctrl  D again and this time when I hit drop boom we've   got a two level command center let's set the work  plane back down on the bottom take a look at our   shape I don't want that line there I can get rid  of it by just taking those two shapes notice you   got to have the right angle to get just too and  when you group them that line is gone sweet I'm   gonna click on those two pieces selecting them  both while holding shift and I'm gonna group   them I'm gonna take this and I've got it all put  together but I want it to be a little larger so   once again it's gonna be alt and shift and I'm  gonna just stretch it till I'm really happy and   then I'm gonna use the arrow keys to pull it  forward a little bit I'm gonna switch to that   one millimeter grid as I get it adjusted just the  way I want alright friends let's add the amazing   turrets once again bring out your work plane bring  out a cylinder I'm gonna hold down shift and I'm   gonna shrink this until it says size 14 if yours  doesn't say 14 once again you can just type it   in I want to make one of these seven this will  be the turret that's back in the back I'm gonna   do ctrl D and pull the other one forward and I'm  gonna make it three high that way they're stacked   and they don't run into each other of course we  need to align them so I'm gonna do Center got a   scroll out so I can see that Center and then boom  they are all aligned friends let's add the top to   our guns and we're gonna use something sweet  in the all shapes to do that please click and   all the way to page number 11 when you get to 11  find the one called the Octagon and let's drop   it on top so we're gonna do workplane octagon  and boom this octagon is pretty sweet but it's   a little bigger than I want I'm gonna tell you  to make that one 16 I'm gonna tell you to make   this one 14 and when you do that it's got a nice  slope for attaching those but I want to change the   height to 4 so it's just a little steeper let's  actually try 12 so that's gonna be our turret   now we need these two pieces aligned so we're  gonna do shift select click a line and then we   want to align to the center piece Center Center so  that's good I'm going to duplicate this control D   I'm gonna move it close to the other one and then  I'm going to set the work plane to that level and   hit D to drop it now because of the way these  rotate and aligned we need to pick where our   guns are gonna be aimed first so I'm gonna turn  this one so it's aimed that way notice it rotates   around its middle and I'm gonna rotate this one  this way so imma shoot here and there I'm gonna   do shift selects so those two items are selected  and once again I'm going to use the orange one to   do its middle and middle now that would have been  easier to see from up here in the corner but I've   been doing this for a while so I don't necessarily  worry about it so much I'm gonna make sure these   two are selected and aligned even though I think I  already did it boom boom I can already see they're   all right so let's add some turrets to our sweet  battle stations first I'm gonna click on the work   plane in this flat place let's go back to basic  shapes and find the tube when you bring the tube   out let's make it totally round and then I want  you to type 1.5 and I want you to type point 5   and you have just made a sweet cannon I might  change that to 14 so it's sticking out their   ways and then I'm gonna nudge it to the left then  I'm gonna do control D nudge it over and control D   if you don't touch anything those three things all  have the same movements let's grab those three and   group them and let's make them a grey I'm gonna  make the bottom piece a grey and then I'm gonna do   the same thing over here once again work playing  on that edge bring out my tube make the sides   round one point five point five pick that length  I think I chose 14 nudge it so I get it where I   want so I'm going to do point one this time so  it can be more perfect then I want to stick it   in the cannon a little bit and if I do control  D use the arrow key to nudge across do not touch   anything else and do control D again all three of  those are arranged the exact same sticks in there   a little goofy but you know what for this project  I'm happy with that so once again I'm gonna change   my colors where's my gray I think I chose that  one and the bottom one choose that one again choose that one and we've got pretty sweet  battleship cannons alright friends let's   move to the back of our ship and make a sweet  helicopter pad once again work plane bring out   a cylinder I'm gonna make it point to five thick  and I'm gonna make it a gray see if I can make   it a different grade than the ship I like that  it's dark and then on top of that shape let's   put a piece of text we do need to rotate at  ninety degrees remember if you move out it's   one degree if you stay close to the shape you  can use these tick marks to get the H where you   want it we want to use sands cuz that looks more  like a helicopter H backspace capital H and boom   you've got the start of a helicopter landing pad  we just need to make it a little bit smaller I'm   gonna change this back to size one I'm gonna hold  them shift so it shrinks a little smaller than my   circle and I'm gonna make it real skinny let's  do 0.5 and I want to make it a real light gray   so that helicopter pilots can see it easily  let's hold down shift and select a circle and   select the H into a line choose the circle middle  middle and of course group them we don't want it   to be one color we wanted to be multicolored and  bam we've got a place for a helicopter to land   let's add some cool antennas and sensors up here  hit work plane and first let's grab the cylinder   to make a post hold down shift and shrink it type  the number one so you've got a skinny post zoom   in with that sweet fit view and then change the  height from 1 to say 10 I'm gonna have three of   these posts I'm gonna make them a dark grey and  I'm gonna do ctrl D and just drag these where   ever I want so then I've got my three post for my  sensors I'll even make one a different height than   the other so it's got some variation and then  check out the cool sensors that we can create   these are all make-believe but they are quite fun  so under featured you should always be looking at   all the amazing things you have available on page  four I'm gonna use these sweet radial fins when   you bring them in I'm gonna do that alt shift to  shrink them I'm gonna make it skinny and then if I   put this right here I have got some sort of sensor  I don't know what it does but it's mine and I like   it when I click on the two pieces I can hit a  line use the pole and if I hit metal middle it   is arranged I might just nudge it so that it's  exactly where I want and then if I group those   two I've just made sensor one all right before  I grew up I'm gonna make this a different grade   just so it looks a little bit cool and now I can  grab those two pieces see how it says three I'm   gonna use shift select some only got the two I  want and boom since their number one is created   let's just turn on multi color so it keeps that  cool style on this same page I'm gonna use this   funky surface so let's bring the surface out I'm  gonna stand it up and then i'ma hold down shift   so it shrinks to the size I want and then I'm  gonna put this one on this tower right here i'ma   hold down shift select that tower and when I do a  line I want to pick the tower and I want it to be   on the top I'm gonna zoom in so I can see better  and I want it to be in the middle in the middle I don't know what that sensor does but I like it  I'm gonna nudge it one forward so it's in front   I think I'm gonna do controlled eat I'm gonna  put one in the back as well but I'm gonna use   the sweet mirror command so it's looking the  other way let's make them a grey as well I'm   gonna make these almost black or maybe completely  black change my grid so they can connect a little   bit better solidly connected solidly connected  and let's group like those dots in the middle not   necessarily planned but I think it looks pretty  sweet had too many pieces so I'm an ungroup them   and I'm going to do that shift-click again one  two three shapes group and now they are separate   and I can do multi color so they look cool as  well let's find our last piece of equipment I'm   gonna switch to page five oh love the facets  fear that's gonna be sweet let's change the   workplane to the top of that post bring out the  facets fear it is huge but I'm gonna simply hold   shift and shrink it down to the size that I  think is awesome I'm gonna do shift select so   that those two pieces are selected choose a line  pick the pole zoom so I can see better and I want   the middle of the pole and the middle of the  pole you know that that turns red and then you   can push it down so it's totally attached took  a different color I'm gonna go with back grey   I'm gonna change that post to be a different color  just for giggles and let's group those two pieces   BAM and turn on my multi color all right I think  that's too high so I'm gonna just shrink it like   this and you know what I like that dome shape  even better that's one of the fun things is as   you play you can just create cooler things with  simple adjustments alright friends let's add some   cool things to our deck I'm gonna click on the  deck and let's look at page six oh I like this   multi-point cylinder there are tons of settings  you can adjust but I'm not gonna I'm just gonna   take it flip it over and I'm gonna drop it on my  deck there's a d4 drop and I want two of them so   I'm gonna do control D I'm gonna move it across  let's change the point one so it moves faster as   I use the arrow keys and then I've got those  two shapes do I know what they do nope but I   think they're sweet I'm gonna group them I'm  gonna shift-click the ship choose a line and   then get them centered nice let's see what other  cool things we can add ooh this puller looks like   it belongs on the front and back of a ship I'm  gonna bring that dude in hold shift shrink him   down so he'd be the size I want I'm gonna do size  six use my arrow keys to nudge it exactly where I   want it ctrl D move his partner over to the other  side and then I'm gonna do the same thing up in   the front once again puller hold down shift and  shrink remember we went to size six that was luck   I was gonna just type it again and I want these  right here ctrl D and move one to the other side   now there are many other cool things you can add  these are just things I'm spotting as we play as   we learn also about all these cool things in the  all shapes right now let's add our propellers   using another amazing all shape it's on the third  page and it's called the pro gear I'm gonna set   the work plane back to the ground bring out that  pearl gear and I'm gonna stand it up by looking   at it from a corner and zooming to the fit view  so we can rotate it 90 degrees hit D to drop it   to the right height and then we're gonna change a  few number the first thing we're gonna do is make   this size three the second thing we're gonna  do is make the tooth base height for so what   it does is stretch those out and then this is  the cool one take your helical angle and make   it 35 boom instant propellers would they really  work on a ship probably not but are they cool   for this project heck yeah I'm gonna turn them  great I'm gonna move it over here to the bottom   of my ship we need to quickly add a driveshaft so  from this corner I'm gonna simply do work plane   aim at that shape go back to the basic shapes  find a cylinder and I'm gonna drop it on there   let's hold down shift and shrink it to size to  zoom in to the actual size with the fit view and   then we can move this into place using the arrow  keys or I'm gonna do shift select and a line and   I'm going to choose middle and middle with that  aligned I'm now gonna pull it in so it connects   to my ship shift-click to group those to choose  the gray color I want I'm gonna do ctrl down so   it's exactly where I want it on the ship and do  control D and move its partner to the other side you can do shift-click to group those and then  with them grouped you can click on your ship   and do a line and make sure that it's aligned to  the middle click the ship so it picks that and   then boom we have got a prop-driven battleship I  already friends this has been pretty intense but   I'm going to add one more cool piece I'm gonna  click on the face of it with the workplane and   let's go to scribble and I want to make a scribble  captain he is just gonna have his little scribble   head he's gonna have a hand that's waving he's  gonna have his other hand just by his side do   his scribble body to get his eyes I'm gonna use  the erase tool pop-pop and let's put him in our   scribble battleship so notice he is way too large  what we're gonna do is hold down shift and we're   just gonna shrink him till he's the right size  to be on our ship I'm gonna make him skinny and   then I'm gonna push him into the ship so he's  actually inside our dear friends so there's my   little scribble dude and you know what let's also  add a Astro bot from the characters where is he at   there he is so I'm gonna set the work plane inside  our battleship so that way there's a captain and   an Astro bot notice aster bots is crazy huge  if we do fit to you we can then hold shift and   shrink them down to the size that would fit once  again fit view I'm gonna hold shift and shrink   him a little bit more now we can find his rotation  handle and turn them and we've got astronaut I'll   do shift make them one bear and scribble dude  friends there is so much room for you to make   this as awesome as you want it is a crazy big  project but it has all the skills you need to   start mastering Tinkercad if you make something  awesome please take time to take a screenshot or   take a picture with your phone
