      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.

                                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

                                    Thanks, Im no Ship Designer so I wouldnt know,maybe some research is in order ๐Ÿ˜„
                                    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:
