This is a great model but I just want to corect you Captain Mitch this type of ship isn't the only ship missing we have tons of ships out there that we don't have in SS.

But anyway this model is great for SSEx

[Captain. Mitch]

Yea, that is true also!

Then i'l correct my self, SSE miss some luxury ship! 

There is a Portoferrario Angel, who can be called as a luxury yacht, and Marabella Delight, hmm that's more an speedboat than a yacht, well it is an open yacht, but...

One mega yacht like these, would be the best!

Kind regards.
Capt. Mitch

Yes it would fit it SSEx but it has not been so much activety in this topic right now.

[McGherkin]

Let's not insult Dom any longer by cluttering his topic, I'm removing my posts now 


Sorry Dom!

[Captain. Mitch]

You are right.

I removed my post too. I'm Sorry.

But i'm not insulting hes master piece. I think the yacht he is making is much more better than Kismet!  

Can't wait to see that yacht in the SSE ( PLEASE GOD, PLEASE!!   ).

Kind regards.
Captain. Mitch

This yacht is cool the antcartic exploration

[DVOMarineDesign]

Many thanks all for your comments.
Don't worry, discussion can sometimes veer a bit to other yachts and as long as my yacht and work is not completely ignored, I don't think it is insulting to speak about and show other ones. No problem, it is a forum after all, not a narrow and blind street every poster has to closely follow.

After a small break, a LOT of work, probably more than an hundred of hours, has been put into this ship during the past month.
Exteriors are almost completed now, though a few minor and not numerous things have still to be slightly improved or corrected.
Night lighting has to be continued as well and then the bridge and the main entrance lounge.

Welcome aboard the yacht:

Beautifal Dom!

Nice touch with the seagulls.

[McGherkin]

My jaw just hit the floor. AGAIN.

Can't wait to see the interior

Are you gonna do the whole lot or just the bridge and lounge?

[DVOMarineDesign]

Thanks a lot both for the comments.

Are you gonna do the whole lot or just the bridge and lounge?

I'm going to limit myself to the bridge with functional instruments and the main entrance lounge (under the helipad) because the model with such a lot of details is already rather hardware demanding (a one-year old hardware will be necessary for confortably running that yacht, still usable with a bit older one but not as smooth) and more interior rooms would probably only make it unusable for all. Besides, I've already spent about 300/400 hours on this one and I'd like to complete it for end july maximum.

This morning, I've continued on working on the lighting:





Thanks again for the comments.

Best regards,

DVOMarineDesign (Dom).

[McGherkin]

Wow, Wow,  and Cool 

[DVOMarineDesign]

Thanks McGherkin.

Some more. I've continued to work on and improve a bit the lighting yesterday:

Hi Dom,

As usual - absolutely fantastic. Cannot knock it at all!

Keep up with the good work!

Jack

[McGherkin]

*remains Speechless*

[clanky]

Once again, WOW.

Fantastic work.

[DVOMarineDesign]

Again, thanks a lot all for your comments.

Another update: I've added the two large semi-inflatables, the radars, a few minor details and corrected a few things as well.
Except for 2 or 3 minor details or improvements (the name, lighter inflatable textures, handles of the jet-ski stern doors...), I can consider the exteriors are now 99% done and I'm going to start the bridge and instruments shortly.













Dom.

[McGherkin]

That's something, What's she going to be called?

I like Arctic Endeavour...

[IRI5HJ4CK]

Hi Dom,

Once again - absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to seeing the final product

Kind Regards,
Jack.

[DVOMarineDesign]

Thanks bot McGherkin and IRI5HJ4CK for your comments.

McGherkin, I like ARCTIC ENDEAVOUR a lot. A fine name indeed, although it would be more suited for an ice breaker. Anyway, the name had already been chosen before the construction of that yacht even started a few months ago. It is SACHA.

She's just been baptized now. Names and jet-ski storage stern doors handles added, inflatables' textures less dark, what I think are probably the last touches on the exteriors now. The bump-mapping of the main body (dark and light blue, white superstructures and windows glasses) has been slightly refined as well.

Having some peaceful and quiet time whilst sailing off Corsica coast:





Then, call at Calvi for some days:

Epic work Dom, just two questions. Will this ship be available for both VS and VSF (Don't worry, it's not illegal to talk about them a little bit here ), and if so, is it a PayWare release?

I can't wait to try it out

[Captain. Mitch]

Hello!

Oh i haven't been on the forum for a while!

These yacht looks amazing, briliant, wonderful!! I just can not stop to watch at it, it looks amazing.

Hope she will be at The Shipyard soon, i need to ride that yacht.

Well it looks my dreames are coming true!

WELL DONE! GREAT JOB! 



Hey if you do accept, i have some ides about the light:

Something like these LED lights would be realy cool for a modern yacht like that.

The name of the yacht in the exotic LED colors like that:

Or the LED lamps on the entrance stairs:

(http://img338.imageshack.us/i/luxuryyachtcharterfranc.jpg/)

Well i must say, these looks great on the modern and exotic yachts, and your yachts is modern and exotic for sure!!

But that's a lot of work again and all the other, so that is only my suggestion.

I'm a huge yacht fun, and i have seen many, many wonderful yachts all ower the world, and i must say, your yacht looks AMAZING!

Also i must say, a very smart idea, an Exploration Yacht, that something new, so i must say, very smart idea...

Can't wait to see the interior pictures, exterior looks luxury, with all these chairs... there are a lot of detailes and other, so hope the interior will be luxury too.

WELL DONE!

Kind regards!
Captain. Mitch
