@mike amos said: You set the bar very high mate. Love it. Agree 100%

Thanks guys, Decided its time to give her a classic look since she is no longer used for fishing, now she can be raced! [image: FYTo_SP15.jpg] [image: CRsw_SP13.jpg] [image: AfA3_SP14.jpg]

Don’t know how you accomplish some of this stuff but it is really great.

Top notch work! It also looks like a spaceship! Very cool!

Thanks Guys, those holes are cutouts done in SUm was thinking of doing an alpha map for them, but you would need huge res to get decent definition, so I opted to go 12 sided. In future If possible ill post the model image next to the Real thing (DONE!), Forgot about quite a few things on that Dinghy! the Rope around the sides would have looked awesome, shes being stripped atm for a refit after years of hard use have taken their toll!

This is great! Its a shame the hull is so flat so you cant see the plank details. If your putting this into a game like the last ship then I understand why but it would make for a great model! Cheers

Axeonalias that is friggin awesome! All that was modeled with Sketchup?

This is really cool. I spent years as a forklift driver - due to an administrative error my marriage certificate actually says I am a forklift. This looks good - just need a bit of damage to the pallets, a few dents in the pallet rack and a filthy polished concrete floor and you have several of my former work places... and possibly an inappropriate sticker somewhere on the forklift

Another beautiful boat. Thanks for showing the wire-frame. I love seeing the start to finish renderings. "All that reading on modeling"... What did you read? If I may, do you get on the water yourself? You seem to know so much about boats. Regards and thank you for the posts. It's always inspiring, though I can do nothing of this sort.

Primitive hull is made with sort of wood? [image: cagettes_bois.jpg]

This is one of the reasons why I come here. So much inspiration! This is amazing! I would love to put the second to the last two on my wall as artwork. Wow! This is just sick. How did you do thouse textures on the walls? ...And this rust on the boat... amazing. Love it!

Welcome aboard! You have some great detail to share...and that is great help you offer. I for one would be facinated by your own work...where can it be found?[/quote] thanks for the comment.i don't have a web site.as i say.totally useless with computer technology. just post my photos of model builds on the usual model forums. neil.

Twas my though for the kitchen,but alas waiters drop enough Glasses on a flat surface let alone a staircase

What an incredibly ambitious and well executed project. Right now you should be PROUD!!!!

3eighty Im not sure if I will be uploading her onto any other sites as Ive had People steal my models and sell them on other sites, and there isnt much I can do about it. If I can get my Turbosquid account working i might place her there, Oh and decoding xx files is higly illegal.

...good model,good texturing!... thanks!

I just joined the forum and found this thread on the HMS Ontario. As a model shipwright I was most impressed with your work. I had a question, how you were constructing the hull's and if you use any specific ruby scripts? I am working on a 16 gun brig and could use some insights.
