                Thanks guys, Im glad to say the hull and deck fittings are just about complete, items added today include ringbolts, bulwark steps, large flap scupper at the deck step, chain lockers, windlass fittings, chainplates, whisker booms and the bowsprit standing rig, excited to get working aloft

                    Brilliant, the texturing especially, masterful. Inspirational when stuff I am doing is going not so great.

                    Which is how it goes with this hobby of ours, two steps forwards, some steps back until we get what we need.

                    Thanks for the smiles today. πŸ‘Š

                      Thanks Bryan & Mike, glad this little old boat can still inspire, I cant take credit for her fine lines, that credit belongs to Arthur D. Story who designed and had her built.

                      Yea SU is like that on some days, I guess the biggest step back for me ( which happens continuously ) is that when replacing some wood materials the grain direction is vertical and I have used horizontal, and theres no simple rotate button anywhere like in other software, which results in you having to remap the entire material!

                      The rig is up and she is sporting her anchors, she still needs a smaller anchor to starboard, and im thinking that chain looks a tad to thick

                                Thanks guys, I dont know about belonging in that thread, theres some mighty impressive modeling there!
                                Progress feels slow when working on the rig, hours pass with little to show, but thats how it goes when working from reference images rather than the plan. Deadeyes are in, another pinrail and ive started adding details to the booms, also added the inner jib boom, which rotates on a bracket well off the sails rotation, should be interesting to get it to work correctly in vsng..

                                    Better and better!

                                    Even without plans, you seem to have some decent references images. When I made my catamaran, even the plans I had were not that good and no good references for the rigging.

                                    Excellent work!

                                      Thanks yes working on an existing vessel is always handy, especially a popular 100+ year old original! what becomes tricky is she has undergone so many changes to just about everything, the deck, fittings, rig to an engine fitted! im trying to show her as she was built for the day she was launched

                                      Single and Twin mainsheet system complete :

                                        Slowly but surely the rig takes shape, current furled sail is just a place marker, im going to do some cloth simulation on that as soon as the sails are drawn
