    I'm sure some of you are aware of this, but since I couldn't find earlier topic on MSW i figured I'll drop this marvelous gem here. basically you can take a virtual tour onboard Titanic. it is beautifully modeled and there's a real feel of being present on the actual ship. those of you who haven't already be sure to check it out. I'm dropping a few screens and a video of the experience, and a link for download. it's free... ;)) https://www.titanichg.com/home

    I meant speed in knots. can't remember the exact number anymore, unfortunately...
  15. herask
    I've made some test for my Pegasus with water simulation, and wake behind the ship wasn't that much pronounced. can't remember the exact number right now, but I did some researching regarding sailing speed of the 6th rate sail ship and the number wasn't that high. I've entered the number into sim and... was mildly disappointed with the effect... oh well...

    Ed, that's the way I usually do it. I put a placeholder of required dimensions in the scene and then scale the plans in the background to fit the object. it's certainly not 100% precise but it is good enough. the thing is, when building ships you usually have exact dimensions stated for individual objects (Lees, Steel, NMM plans...), so use them when modeling, background plans are there more for reference than for CAD-precise-like modeling...

    I just hope they'll be helpful. 😁 thx, Derek!

  20. herask
    please bear in mind those are just renders of the building process. the 3D model itself is not 100% finished yet, I'm still in the process of making sails. once that is finished I'll put the 3D model on sale on one (or several) of the online 3d marketplaces. but more on that in due time...

    take a look at this tutorial collection, there's bound to be something useful in there: https://stylizedstation.com/article/blender-tutorial-bible/ also very useful and good YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Blenderfan93 I would suggest following any hard surface tutorial (cars, weapons, sci fi ships and stuff). while the subject isn't actual shipbuilding, what you learn there should be enough to tackle any ship. at least it was for me... ;D good luck!
  22. herask
    here's one result using search in YouTube. there are tons of tutorials available, just use keywords for blender and the topic you require. I.e. "blender working with materials".
  23. herask
    Phil, take a look at this thread: there you can find the answers about software and progress. the renders are in .PNG format and any image viewer program will read them just fine. even the default one in Windows 🤣.
  24. herask
    excellent work! viewing this on my phone I thought that were reference photos...
  25. herask
    Google search came up with this. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-export-Inventor-assembly-files-and-open-them-in-Fusion-360.html apparently it will import as a solid body, without sketches...

    also bear in mind that people were a tad shorter back then, and ships were usually cramped and lower decks had low ceilings. for movie making the crew needed to make everything larger for actors and equipment to fit in and record nice shots without feeling of being stuffed in a tin can like sardines. that's movie's visual language, I'm afraid. otherwise they wouldn't look so nice and cool and... my point, don't expect extreme accuracy from movie props... good luck!

  28. herask started following Spanish 68-gun ship of 1752 by Isidro - plans of Isidro Rivera and construction by Jose Collado, Mi24D Hind by Dan Vadas - Halinski - 1:33 scale - CARD - Russian Attack Helicopter - FINISHED, Le Fleuron by juzek - 1:27 and 1 other
  29. herask
    Dan, another incredible build you have here. can't believe I didn't check shore leave section sooner. and, as Druxey said, very beautiful model of an extremely ugly (yet impressive) bird. well done! Denis

    amazing! someone needs to invent more superlatives. the ones we already have are certainly not enough. in any language!
  36. herask
    great work! now do her justice and take 157 photos from all possible angles for us to enjoy as well. 😁

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
