      excellent to see a true fanatic every step of his crazy path - thanks for sharing this is wonderful stuff. do you apply basic colour to elements (like buttons, console etc) in sketchup, before detailing it with the render software?

          wow! then in a funny way your work is even more amazing! all those special textures must take ages to apply.

            Wow, amazing.

            Maybe in the future we will have live tracking of ships via GPS so we can watch your ship models moving on Google Earth.

              Thanks, Sketchup is by far the fastest at applying textures than any other modeling program i have ever seen,although this did take a while as there are 201 materials on the bridge alone πŸ˜„
              More details added on the bridge and a new helm modeled. Almost done here I guess,will still need to polish some areas and add some of the chairs, oh and all the fittings that sit on the ceiling.

                Chairs in and fine textures seperated,although you cannot see it all the textures that will need to retain resolution in bake have been seperated so that when it comes to baking it will have its own texture and you will (hopefully) still be able to read everything written on the instruments.

                Heres a photo of the real interior vs the current model ( I didnt quite get the angle on this render but ill get it when everything has been added :

                          Getting there...Still need to render the new texture for the Wheel and get the throttles in,oh and of course the doors. But after adding the working bits and our renowned skipper,I thought Id show and tell.

                                    Work on the Model has finally begun,I decided on a scale of 1:40 which brings her overall length to 1.33m. The Hull Blueprints which where made in Sketchup from the Original Drawings, where printed onto a A0 page and Stuck onto a 1.8m x 1.0m .6mm Sheet of Plywood using woodglue,and then painfully cut out using a jigsaw cutter :

                                    This is the same process when making a ship in sketchup, and its just as much fun! ....although the copy and paste buttons are disabled in real life.

                                        beware: in real life, another tool that doesn't work is Ctrl+Z!

                                        are you modelling for fun?

                                            Warning the next content of "Hopper Dredger "Crane" might make you feel like a crappy modeler, continue at own risk.

                                            hehe, Awesome work. ^^
