Name: SS United States
Length: 990 Feet

Ingame description of the vessel:
The SS United States is the flagship of the United States of America. On the ship's maiden voyage to Southampton, the ship stole the Blue Riband away from the RMS Queen Mary. The United States still holds the Blue Riband for Westbound crossing, but in 1990 the ship lost the Eastbound crossing to Hoverspeed Great Britain. This ship is currently moored in Philadelphia and is awaiting restoration or being sent to the breakers.

Great model you are just beginning. I am too starting on a model of a different ship. It is what I will think as Pride of Ireland. It is going to barely look like Pride of Rotterdam. I will put PoI pictures in a topic I will start in a little bit.

So who here would like to see her in Ship Sim 2010?

Shipaddict · « **Reply #10 on:** March 30, 2009, 21:27:18 »

Personally I think that the United States is a little ugly myself, (Not in any way saying your model is bad!

)

Could be a nice little addition though.

Thanks a lot Mike!

I have added those railings on the sides that will eventually have steps below them.

Gotta love those clay renders!!!!!

Firestar, could you please upload your images in .jpg ? Because I'm getting very unpatient to see updates when it takes forever to open each image. Thanks.

Sure Diamant. (Howabout if I uploaded them directly from my computer as an attachment?)

Thanks, Firestar. Just make them less than 100K in size.

Ok, anyways for now there is just going to be a hole where the stairs are gonna be later. I will add the picture as soon as it is done rendering. (Takes about 2 more minutes)
Edit: Here it is, darkness, never ending darkness. Just like my sister Crystal's mouth.

I'm sure there are lots of holes in a ship that isn't finished, and even some in ones that are. Just not below the bow line

Any small updates, Firestar?

Uh...not really. I will work in a second and I will post it here in a couple minutes.
