Can I build This Ship?

Supreme Line

Hi guys

Is there anyway i can trace this picture and build it in GS

I assume you mean in SU. Sure. Go ahead.

this doesn't belong in the LayOut forum though so I'll move it.

Yes.

Can you be more specific? Exactly how much experience with (ship) modeling do you have?

Certainly can be achieved with SU, just keep your poly count down, use components and model in symmetry.

Does SU stand for - Sketch Up.I am starting to find more out about Google Sketch Up like reading about it ect and finding these great pictures i wish i can build them or sort of the same with my designs and colors ect.

Also make sure you check out SU video tuts. Tutorials on airplane fuselage modeling might come in handy as well: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1183219

Downloading some 3D warehouse models to see how they were built might also be a good idea.

Take a look at 3DWarehouse

there are some models of boats like yours in SU Format (18 pages)

You're likely to become overwhelmed attempting such a model if you're new to SU. I would suggest starting out with something a little simpler (like maybe a rowboat? ). Just a suggestion.
