I think it's coming along fantastic Llamalord.

I found a real dredger of about the same size.

The dimensions of this dredger, Marieke, can be found here (http://www.deme.be/Equipment/Marieke_GB.pdf).
2.85 times the length, 2.24 times the beam, somewhat bigger.

I've stinken seen one of these on Cape Cod! Really I know what I'm doing I'm not going to let myself fly off the handle about this but I really have done plenty of research and I know what I'm doing.

My next model to hit this forum is the SS Sabino which is the last coal-fired steam ship in America so, Yes it's real, so you Can't say it's not right.

Do you mean pictures/renders of the Iron Flounder or of the Dredger I saw on Cape Cod?

Nathan|C · « **Reply #130 on:** September 06, 2008, 15:24:13 »

I think some people should stop moaning in this topic and appreciate that you are doing this for our entertainment.

To the people who are complaning; I'd like to see your model of a dredger. Excellent work Llamalord, looking forward to when it's done!

I thought mentioning one of the worlds most famous steam ships being modeled would put a spark into this topic but I guess I was wrong.

I've felt like I have been neglecting my other 3D projects like the Sabino so there will be some new renders soon but none of them will really be all that amazing although a few of the thing that people have been nicely suggesting I change will be fixed. So yes I do like suggestions but not complaints.

NathanC, If I make a model, people may moan about my model, beceaus maybe then I will realise that I am not doing it well.

You shouldn't expect no comment if you put it on a forum.

I am going to start a topic about my project and people may moan about it as much as they want.

maritiem · « **Reply #138 on:** September 14, 2008, 16:40:15 »

yes do you have any renders of your dredger? it's a long time ago since i asked for it.

Captain Best · « **Reply #139 on:** September 14, 2008, 21:27:09 »

Yes.

I would love to see any updates from the ship

llamalord · « **Reply #140 on:** September 14, 2008, 21:38:44 »

I'm kind of sorry guys but I've been working on the other ship I'm modeling right now...

If I don't switch off between them I get really annoyed and we wouldn't want me to lose interest in modeling now would we.

I know a few of you have heard me going on about this other ship and I decided today I would shell out 1 and on 1 render.

Enjoy the glory that is The Sabino!!!

Woohooo, very nice

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #142 on:** September 15, 2008, 12:21:08 »

Ahoy llamalord,
WHOOOW, indeed. Is it an excisting vessel or a product of Your imagination? What are the measures of this one? Or, comparing to the Elbe: is she longer or shorter, wider or smaller etc.
Regards
Aad

Captain Best · « **Reply #143 on:** September 15, 2008, 13:23:22 »

Woohoo

Nice Ship.

Would be nice if i could hear the facts of the ship.

Lenght

ETC...

LucAtC · « **Reply #144 on:** September 15, 2008, 13:52:41 »

Hello Aadje,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabino_(steamer) gives some details, but not her height...

The Emperor of the Llamas will tell you!

Luc

maritiem · « **Reply #145 on:** September 15, 2008, 15:12:57 »

nice ship, althought she can't beat the iron flounder!

maritiem

Sam · « **Reply #146 on:** September 15, 2008, 19:29:04 »

Just like I said in another topic: Verry nice ship!

I think it is better than the Iron Flounder.

It has the right dimensions and allso looks realistic.

Great work Llamalord!

llamalord · « **Reply #147 on:** September 15, 2008, 21:11:34 »

Thanks Guys,

The reason she looks real and has good looking dimentions is because she is real!

She currently lives at the Mystic Seaport in Mystic Connecticut. This is the 100^th year of the Sabino. She still has the same engine that she was built with and has possibly the coolest history of any ship other than the Titanic. For example most ships on get to sink once but the Sabino has sank Twice already.

I want to get the Sabino out as a 3D model for Ship Simulator for her 100^th birthday. And show America's Pride for the Last American Coal fired Steamer.

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #148 on:** September 15, 2008, 23:31:45 »

Ahoy llamalord,
I assume that You're still working on the Sabino because I still miss a thing or two or three

Regards
Aad

I'm not sure I understand the Question... ...Or statement. $:-\$
