Abstract: By documenting the entire process of building a scale model of the 05 amphibious assault vehicle—from information gathering and 3D modeling to final fabrication—this project illustrates the distinctive value of military modeling in naval and military-engineering education. It seeks to spark students' interest in ocean engineering and, ultimately, to cultivate the interdisciplinary talent required by China's national strategy of strengthening the country through human capital development. The work also serves as an important popularscience resource for military engineering education.
