      Started this Schooner as a personal project for the new Virtual sailor ng simulator, always wanted to tackle the fine lines of a Grand banks ( in this case Fredonian ) schooner but was always intimidated by the need to accomplish such long sweeping fair bends needed in SU, im going to be using a cartoon edge style renders while modeling, until the texturing phase, heres a first look:

          Thanks Bryan, these 19th century hulls are fantastic!

          More details added, heres a shot showing how each scupper cut had to be individually aligned
          Also added a few figures for scale

                                    Thanks guys, Im glad to say the hull and deck fittings are just about complete, items added today include ringbolts, bulwark steps, large flap scupper at the deck step, chain lockers, windlass fittings, chainplates, whisker booms and the bowsprit standing rig, excited to get working aloft

                                        Brilliant, the texturing especially, masterful. Inspirational when stuff I am doing is going not so great.

                                        Which is how it goes with this hobby of ours, two steps forwards, some steps back until we get what we need.

                                        Thanks for the smiles today. ๐Ÿ‘Š

                                          Thanks Bryan & Mike, glad this little old boat can still inspire, I cant take credit for her fine lines, that credit belongs to Arthur D. Story who designed and had her built.

                                          Yea SU is like that on some days, I guess the biggest step back for me ( which happens continuously ) is that when replacing some wood materials the grain direction is vertical and I have used horizontal, and theres no simple rotate button anywhere like in other software, which results in you having to remap the entire material!

                                          The rig is up and she is sporting her anchors, she still needs a smaller anchor to starboard, and im thinking that chain looks a tad to thick
