The source material of only 14 pages was enough to get an idea of scope of the project. First off I needed to find more reference material to base the 3D build off of.
I found this image by googling ‘Blue Whale Model’ from TF3DM website.

This was perfect since it had both top and side views from which to build from. I took the image enlarged and tile-mosiac so each tile was 5×5 pixels with overall length about 400 blocks.
This is how far I got so far....

Needs work but on it's way. Currently extruding levels with worldedit copy. Some of the problems is I can't seem to make deepstone stairs, slab or panels. Plan to use the texture of deepstone for the belly. Also I would love to have it included for the circular saw. Also column form for circular saw would be nice. I can do it with CNC but the target server VE-building doesn't support technics mod.
