Looked through your thread and website. Incredible work. Such attention to detail.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer - with such meticulous answers. This has given me a good base to work on. I shall search for some of the suggested books. I've just commenced looking through the wealth of information that is in the archives. Apologies for any incorrect terminology I use - it will come with more research. I'm sure there will be more question to pursue.

Beautiful build. You have such clean and neat work. I especially like that propeller metalwork.

Today I can say I have finally finished this model. I'm very proud of the finish and it has been an absolute pleasure to build and work on. Would love to make another larger motor yacht next time using similar processes and machinery. There may be a couple more small details I'd like to add before I send it off. I will be transporting this model to London for my final end of year show, so it has to survive a 4 hour road trip in the back of a van. I've built a custom crate for it and will start getting some foam cut so that it slots into place.

Cheers,

Todays work with some rather slow progress. Added the small overhang on the bow and have done another few coats of primer. Created a proper base and cut some metal rod ready for spraying the hull.

Thanks Yves. I hope the model is taken well at the 'New Blades' show in London. I am showcasing some of my other architectural work alongside. The interesting part now is travelling with it.

Cheers David. The CD/Pan?

Thank you Michael. It's been a pleasure learning how to construct models this way. Being my first time using a CNC and any fabric work I feel I've learned many new techniques.

The custom crate is finished, measuring quite a size to accommodate for the mast. Had some minor problems with the thin board as it was bowing in, however that's been resolved with a few wood braces now. I'm in the process of arranging some packing to lock the hull in place and I may put some fabric on the inside of the box just incase it rubs.

Looking like a solid start. Rhino is a superb versatile program. I look forward to more.

Ian,

Whoa to all of the above posts. Beautiful work in such a new technology for crafting a model, in this case, of a "ship". VERY impressive indeed; a pleasure to look at.

Cheers,

MIchael

Ian, I have to agree with the upper statement. You could use your CD/Pan for your portfolio.

Been able to get back to work on the boat his week - inbetween making crates so that I can transport the model. I've added some railings that need to be soldered on and my sail fabric is on order. I'll pop up a couple more updates when it arrives.

Cheers

So i mentioned I'd get some better quality images up of the work so far. The molde photographs really well and once all the details, sails and rigging are on it'll come out a treat.

Thank you everyone. I'm very pleased with her! If you want any more images I'm in the process of updating my online portfolio.

@dvm27; Cheers dvm. It's been a great model to work on - and a pleasure to work on a modern design.

@mtaylor; It does, I'm glad I went ahead with changing the base colour.

@EJ_L; Thank you my friend. I'm glad you have enjoyed the build. I have enjoyed sharing it with you all. I will keep you updated on the next project.

@dgbot; Spent a while in Michigan a couple of years back - as I have more family over your side than in Scotland now. I can imagine, I'd love nothing more then to lounge around and do some fishing on a yacht like this.

@NavalArchAngel; Thanks. It's been an absolute pleasure to build and share. It has been pretty intense these past few weeks so I will have a gap after my London show and before graduating for a little holiday.

Good day mates!

I am using CAD and Rhino for ship modeling. I recently added Delft ship software to my PC, I am searching for online tutorials but it seems more complicated than I thought. Your help is much appreciated.

best regards,

victor

Ian,

I am quite certain that with your skills and enthusiasm, you will not have any problems finding a job in that industry and help design the future marvels sailing our seas.
Good luck and we all hope to see you back on this forum with your next project.
