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.

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

Aww Fred, that looks just like Jack's boat.

Wait till he sees that on morning!

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #5 on:** August 29, 2009, 23:51:55 »

Cheers mate!!!

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!)

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

Are you using just Sketchup to model?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #9 on:** August 30, 2009, 01:26:18 »

TNeves;

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

Fred.

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.

You do? Would you mind letting me in on it too? Cause I don't really have a clue, I just wing it!

Seriously..

Thanks very much you guys, for all of your kind words!!

Hard work and long hours. And plenty of it.

matt5674 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 30, 2009, 17:25:31 »

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

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #18 on:** August 30, 2009, 20:53:51 »

Thanks a million, mate!!

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!

Looking lovely Fred

Gr8 Fred!

Edwin 24 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2009, 21:57:34 »

Wow thats nice think they might put it in ship sim 2008

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #23 on:** August 31, 2009, 23:28:41 »

Thanks very much, Mike and Edwin!!

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.

Fred
