JohnE Posted March 13, 2013 #31 Posted March 13, 2013 I am beginning a project to prepare plans for a Virginie class Sane frigate. Your build log is an inspiration. Cannot begin to say how impressed I am. I will be using TurboCAD v18 and Solidworks for my own project, Thank you for setting the bar so high. As the French would say totalement incroyable.

ppddry Posted March 13, 2013 Author #32 Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Thank you everyone for the kind words! Bava, at the beginning I came across this model of the Pandora (It seems that it was built by Woodeater and/or his friends. By the way, does anyone know whether Woodeater has come back to MSW 2.0? It is always a pleasure to see his and his friends’ builds.): http://www.shipmodels.com.ua/eng/models/elite/pandora/index.htm http://forum.modelsworld.ru/topic8068.html I was amazed by the details of this model and decided to build a similar one in 3D, thus this project. WackoWolf, I worked on this project intermittently and it took me about two years to get to this point. You can do it a lot faster if you draw something everyday. John, I am looking forward to see your project! Jingyang Edited March 13, 2013 by ppddry daHeld73 and PeteB 2 Quote Best regards, Jingyang Current build: HMS Pandora (1779) in 3D
WackoWolf Posted March 14, 2013 #33 Posted March 14, 2013 I agree, if you work on it everyday you can do it faster. I have been working a design for about 2 years plus and still not done yet LOL. PeteB and daHeld73 2 Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :)

tkay11 Posted March 14, 2013 #35 Posted March 14, 2013 It's wonderful that we're having so many great CAD builds on this site. The meticulous precision and attention to detail throughout are just as awe-inspiring as some of the physical builds. Brilliant work, Jingyang, and thanks so much for taking the time to show us the build.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 16, 2013 #36 Posted March 16, 2013 Jingyang, you have a marvelous tool to work with and you use it as a master. It would be a charm to build HMS Pandora with this set of drawings. The problem with 2D drawings is that it is sometimes difficult to visualize a piece in 3D but with the extractions that you can do with the drawings it makes everything easy to understand. I do not know if you are still working on this model, but would it be possible to show us a drawing just like if somebody would be inside the ship? Thank you Gaetan daHeld73 and PeteB 2 Quote
ppddry Posted March 16, 2013 Author #37 Posted March 16, 2013 Thank you, Mark, Tony, and Gaetan. Gaetan, it is indeed much easier to visualize the parts in 3D and it helps to resolve some contradictions between different 2D drawings. I am still working on the model, but slowly. I will try to render a picture showing as if someone is inside soon. PeteB and daHeld73 2 Quote Best regards, Jingyang Current build: HMS Pandora (1779) in 3D

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted March 19, 2013 #40 Posted March 19, 2013 Hi Jingyang, thank you very much. I like the colors I like the angle of view It is surprising how close from reality their effect can be. There is a lot of work behind your work. You have a fantistic tool to evaluate dimensions of parts in relation one to the other. Congratulations for your work! Gaetan anrovm, daHeld73 and PeteB 3 Quote

flying_dutchman2 Posted March 20, 2013 #43 Posted March 20, 2013 This thread is AWESOME. I am drooling all over the details. The frames, the individual cabins, the masts, to name a few drawings. I do a lot of landscape design and use a 3D app. to make it look real for the customer (which by then it sells it self). But your work and creativity is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

ppddry Posted March 25, 2013 Author #50 Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks everyone for the good words! Garward, thank you for providing more details about the Pandora model. That’s the very model that inspired me into doing this 3d build. Bernard, that’s a great video! I have seen it before, but I still couldn’t help but watched the full 10 minutes of it again. Tony, it’s alright. My progress is slow so it is good to have something else to fill in the gap. daHeld73 and PeteB 2 Quote Best regards, Jingyang Current build: HMS Pandora (1779) in 3D

michael mott Posted May 17, 2013 #60 Posted May 17, 2013 Every day I see new ideas and new ways of creative expression. This one leaves me in awe, the individual vignettes of the details and how they fit together are so useful for those who build in the solid from 2D plans. This build could become a prominent book on the building of one of these ships A boon to modelbuilders and historians alike.
