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. :)

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,

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.

 

Yves

 

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. 

 

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

David B

 

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.
