Completed the binnacle today, and almost completed the companionways, also textured and split the helm and drew the ships bell, not quite satisfied with the material settings yet, still needs some tweaking

Oh great. Here we go again. Another beautiful model and render by our resident master shipbuilder.

In other words, I can already tell it's going to be a knockout!

axeonalias

Thanks Bryan, I hope this project will not disappoint!

Started work on the standing rigging, similar to Lettie G Howard`s fittings, added a few deck fittings here and there, and of course added the chain plates

Not just the great modeling but how damn fast he does it!

This is really amazing. I would never imagine being able to do such a thing in SketchUp.
Last week I did a one-day modeling and rendering similar job using Blender (Modeling, rendering, post pro..) based on an image on the web. You are pushing the Sketchup to the limits!

axeonalias

Thanks guys, I wish I could say the same about the speed, currently 3042 minutes in (50 hours)

Majid thats incredible speed for 1 day and the render looks awesome, well done!

The Iconic Telegraph is complete, and added the bowsprit chain lines

@axeonalias : You are pushing Sketchup to its boundaries!
Blender has a builtin Subd that makes it easier to model. By the way in some cases nothing may beat Sketchup's speed modeling.

Good old Blender! yes I import base mesh`s from SU to Blender to use its subdiv, handy

Life boats are in, Ratlines are complete and a few new materials are added

WOW!
