Kaimiloa Yacht 1925

Oh great. Here we go again. Another beautiful model and render by our resident master shipbuilder.

In other words, I can already tell it's going to be a knockout!

Thanks Bryan, I hope this project will not disappoint!

Started work on the standing rigging, similar to Lettie G Howard`s fittings, added a few deck fittings here and there, and of course added the chain plates

Not just the great modeling but how damn fast he does it!

This is really amazing. I would never imagine being able to do such a thing in SketchUp.
Last week I did a one-day modeling and rendering similar job using Blender (Modeling, rendering, post pro..) based on an image on the web. You are pushing the Sketchup to the limits!

Thanks guys, I wish I could say the same about the speed, currently 3042 minutes in (50 hours)

Majid thats incredible speed for 1 day and the render looks awesome, well done!

The Iconic Telegraph is complete, and added the bowsprit chain lines

@axeonalias : You are pushing Sketchup to its boundaries!
Blender has a builtin Subd that makes it easier to model. By the way in some cases nothing may beat Sketchup's speed modeling.

Good old Blender! yes I import base mesh`s from SU to Blender to use its subdiv, handy

Life boats are in, Ratlines are complete and a few new materials are added
