@ Model head
Thanks well Building it will take a tad longer than modeling so dont expect anything soon, Still planning the build as its a scratch build, need to put alot of thought into it.
@ SketchupNoobie : Yup its for the simulator
not sure hoe im going to do the crane etc ,might have to be static
@ Richard : The Ship is about 20k Polys now, the file size means nothing atm as the prints are in there
making the size skyrocket
Heres the Clamshell Grab,Well Worth 2400 Polys as it is the Working end of this ship :

I hope your sending copies to your contacts on these vessels. They would be surely impressed as I always am.
Thanks again for keeping up the posts.

It's a wonderful model...
Doesn't the 'red' funnel needs to be ~1.5m higher ?

amazing thanks for the step by step images you are teaching me as much about boats as 3d modelling!
newb question: how do you make these lovely 'clay' renders?
-
-
Excellent work as usual, and fast.
Just one question,how does one get to top deck? there does not seem like there is stair access or a door.

Wow, that is amazing work.

why do boats always have round corners on the upper levels? it must be more difficult to build.... and model!
thanks for sharing, great work

Adds strength and reduces injuries to crew on pitching decks.

Thanks, Im no Ship Designer so I wouldnt know,maybe some research is in order
After being asked for a Wireframe render I had to go and find out how those are done properly, Although this one of the ship isnt 100% right, Max seems to get overloaded easily,I had to cheat and make the faces Opacity 90% so that all the Wires would show, Max would randomly show and hide wires all over as it pleases so ill still have to perfect it,but it works for the interior: -
Marius, these are something else, just modeled my first car and it puts me even more in awe of your modelling skills, just simple things you put in like those containers on there own are superb....
Take care John
