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

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

Main engine fitted

Main engine ready to be installed

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

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!

Bow thruster installed, the bow thruster room will get welded in around the thruster, this is a Kawasaki KT-157B3

Thanks Mike!

Lower block of the bow ready to be installed, along with Hold 5 curved lower blocks

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

First bulkhead is up between hold 4 and 5

Thanks Rich, Agreed this is a ship ton of work so to say!

A few more blocks added, starting with the curved bilge block at hold 4, followed by the double bottom tank for hold 5 and its curved bottom blocks, which are seen shaping up towards the stern.

Keel has finally been laid down in the yard

A quick look at the progress 36 hours into this, Still need connecting stringers all over the place, but the general shape is taking place, im particularly enjoying the engine room. once complete I will be able to render in modules

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

No aged print effects added, but Black and white is more suitable for the time period

Tried a few superimposed shots, beats creating that entire terrain in 3d

Now that shes ready to at least steam under her own power, I can start making clips like this, same software "Vessel Visualizer"

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

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

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
