Generic Handymax Bulk Carrier

Been far to long since I posted a project on here!
Going to be building this one in modules or "blocks" like they do in shipyards, starting with the bow
-
Looking forward to this progress
-
A quick look at the progress 36 hours into this, Still need connecting stringers all over the place, but the general shape is taking place, im particularly enjoying the engine room. once complete I will be able to render in modules

Keel has finally been laid down in the yard -
Yikes! Its a big one! Looking great so far!

Thanks Rich, Agreed this is a ship ton of work so to say!
A few more blocks added, starting with the curved bilge block at hold 4, followed by the double bottom tank for hold 5 and its curved bottom blocks, which are seen shaping up towards the stern.
-
First bulkhead is up between hold 4 and 5
-
Bottom tank at hold 1 built and added, along with builkheads at hold 2 & 3, and the sump tank aft

Rocking this beast, you seriously are rocking it mate.

Thanks Mike!
Lower block of the bow ready to be installed, along with Hold 5 curved lower blocks

Bow thruster installed, the bow thruster room will get welded in around the thruster, this is a Kawasaki KT-157B3
-
The first lower block for the engine room has been built and installed, im aiming to have fairly simply models for all the mayor components in here, not sure about piping just yet, but I am to add as much detail as possible here!
