Privateer Twin Hull U-boat by Michael_C
The Privateer U-boat is a fully articulated Poser figure of a fictional twin-hulled submarine, sized for Poser people. The figure features many moving parts controlled by coordinated ERC controls at the Body level. The figure is designed for Poser but is compatible with DAZ Studio 4.7.
