Title: new Project: Motor Cruiser
Post by: Mad_Fred on August 29, 2009, 23:13:48

Hi everyone!

Here's another WIP that I have been working on.

It's based on a boat called "Mary Elizabeth", of which someone here has many fond memories.  ;D

 ;)

Almost done with this one, but it does need some more work.  No name yet, but that will come soon.

Cheers mate!!!  ;D

And well. he allready saw it, all during the modeling of her. He gave me some helpful photo's and tips and advice too. (cheers Jack!)   :2thumbs:

At a closer look it's a bit different though, and the interior is my own fabrication..   ;D

TNeves;

I sometimes also use Delftship for hulls. But apart from that, the modeling is all done in Sketchup, yeah :)

Among all of you here thinking about that, I'm the only one who knows his secret...

Anyway, Fred's tactics are amazingly easy & always successful.  ;D

And a good hand to make it from it's design, and Jack's interior pics. You are a great, no, a marvelous modeler! :2thumbs:

Thanks a million, mate!!  :2thumbs:

But it's not as hard as it looks, really..  modern software is great, and easy to use..  you just have to spend a lot of time to learn how to use it properly, but anyone with a keen interest and a logical mind can do it, I can assure you!  :thumbs:

Thanks very much, Mike and Edwin!!  :2thumbs:

No idea Edwin, it's only a WIP at the moment.. and there's lots more work to be done that I have very little, to no, experience with.  :)

But live and learn, so I'll keep at it, that's for sure.

Any update Fred?

Post by: Mad_Fred on October 12, 2009, 18:07:44

I'm afraid not, Mike.

The external side of the model is pretty much done, but haven't got round to doing the interior of the wheelhouse yet. Busy times.  ;D


Regards,
Fred
