Been far to long since I posted a project on here!

Going to be building this one in modules or "blocks" like they do in shipyards, starting with the bow

Bottom tank at hold 1 built and added, along with builkheads at hold 2 & 3, and the sump tank aft

Main engine ready to be installed

Thanks guys, the purpose of this model is only to create a few images so im not to bothered about polygons right now, but I always keep in mind that I might want to convert it for a sim so I cant help but make it reasonable poly, wish SU had a nice simple built in subdiv like blender to enable you to switch back and forth when you need to! for this project I will be using tileable Pbr materials without unwrapping.

Links to our current projects below, I am still working on a dedicated page for Vessel viewer, but many vids created from it are on my youtube channel, this showcases its current capabilities.

The first lower block for the engine room has been built and installed, im aiming to have fairly simply models for all the mayor components in here, not sure about piping just yet, but I am to add as much detail as possible here!

Main engine fitted

Thanks guys, yea the scale of these ships is in a league of their own!

Work on the main engine has begun, a single B&W 6S50MC-C will be fitted, 8580kw rated

Lower pumps ,tanks and railings are in. Once all the machinery in the engine room is fitted, will they be connected

Engine room work continues, there`s a ship load of gear in here!
