Smit Panther ASD Tug
-
Tremendous modeling and attention to detail.
So what are you using for reference? I'm assuming you have something more than the two photos at the beginning of this post. Just curious.
Never mind, just Googled it and there seems to be a ton of reference material for this beauty.
Looking forward to seeing this project develop.

Thanks guys, hellnbak even with what seems to be so much reference out there you will be surprised how some areas are hidden, I really dont like taking guesses with anything,thats why many hours are spent doing research on every part, me and my research department ( Thanks babe
) have been searching like crazy for this 10 - 50 (or 150?) Ton Rolls Royce towing winch, and nothing but this low res image on a 226 page pdf on the Rolls Royce website:
Not sure why RR has it mirrored, its correctly fitted on my tug as the real one is.
What makes things even more tricky is many items have been added over the years that are not on the blueprints or on any of the marketing brochures, luckily they are small things.
Progress so far includes many details around the aft towing winch, the winch itself ( not happy with that rope texture, will still be spending some time there ) and details on the funnels

Marvelous piece of work, rock on, Sir.

Excellent work! It's been a while since a ship model was posted around here!

Decided to get the Engines completed, im happy with the LOD for these, its tempting to just keep adding detail, but there comes a point where you just have to decide..
The turbo was Subdiv. and the rest was hard surface.Theres a bunch of Decals that will be added later, but I will do all of them at the same time.
Engine is currently at 35600 Polys.

Brilliant, progressing just great.

Completed the working parts for the azimuth stern drive (ASD) and cleaned up the interior walls.
At the bow the area is raised to allow 2 stories, goes half way above the main diesel tanks and then single at the engine room.

Completed the Bow Towing Winch, I really wanted to take my time on this ( it took 6 Hours to complete ) as its the main part on the tug, heres a look at the real one :
Will still be adding the tow rope itself as soon as I can find a acceptable method to make a low poly version of it.
Heres a Link to to the 3D:

"WOW" is very appropriate mate

Awesome!

Thanks Guys, wish I had more hours in a week to throw at this!
My Guess is with the full interior Complete she will be around a million Polys, with probably around 10 4096x4096 Textures ( Each with 6 Different layers, AO, Normals , Rougness etc. )
Completed the Fire Monitors,I was dreading thes,e but they weren't as bad as I thought, only took 4 hours.
Heres a Few Shots of the model where is is at the moment:
