I tried out meshy to see how well it converts crappy hsnd sketches into 3d models. I have to say, it works very well in my view. I used two sketches which I allready uploaded in this forum ("design contest"). Of course, the single fuselage looks very chubby, but this is my fault. The models cam be (for pay) downloaded as STL files. They could be printed as is (not worth it) or be used as reference in the background to make a proper CAD model

Meshy is better than others af converting drawings and especially blueprints. I have a couple projects I will be printing out in time, both real-world subjects. My next step would be to learn how to edit. I want to model the BBH conversion of the Iowa class and there are some very good drawings out there.
 
Interesting, I wonder what it would make of these ...

Oh, crud, now I need a cheap all-in-one printer/scanner/fax.

This might actually help get visuals out of my head and into the computer.
 
Buy one with refillable ink tanks rather than the cartridges. You might even find one second-hand at a flea market or Goodwill or tag/garage sale.

For 3D printing look to your local library or other such resources. Ours has a makerspace, and I am having a couple subjects printed for the princely sum of US$3.50.
They were not able to print a 1/700 ship, with its fine details, so for my Island class HMS Jersey I am turning to a local shop that offers printing and other crafts along with breakfast and lunch, and hires neurodiverse staff.
 
I think, in many cases, it would be better to use the STL file just as a reference an create a clean model with the STL geometry in the background. Of course this requires a 3d CAD software which not everybody owns, but there are open source CAD programs available. From what I heard, they are not really fun to work with, but as long as it is just an single part and not a complex assembly, it can't be to bad.
