    Thanks Tony, It sounds like it would be feasible. I am only guessing, but attempting to add the rope will drive you mad Might be a step too far? CAD is a useful visualisation tool whenever you are building something complex. I have been very slowly (I am slow) building a powered hacksaw and found CAD useful to plan and dimension each step of the process. I used TurboCAD for that, but as I have used FreeCAD with python for electromagnetic design work then I will attempt the boat model that way. I will also go through what you have written in fine detail so I can understand it.

    Very interesting and recent post Tony. Can I ask how well FreeCAD performed in speed and ease when the model was at its largest? I could not see mention of python so I imagine this has been a straight GUI entry? I have only used FreeCAD with python in the past, but would like to enter the boat lines of a Bristol Pilot Cutter into 3D by whatever method is simplest.

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.
