tkay11 Posted March 24, 2013 #1 Posted March 24, 2013 There's a great video by Bernard of a 3D build of "La Belle" following the Ancre plans. It's shown in the 3D build of Pandora by Jinyang. It raises the question for me of whether anyone could start some practicum or set of instructions on this forum on how to develop such 3D builds. At the moment I only know of one tutorial on the web about 3D modelling of wooden sailing ships and that is restricted to the creation of a hull shape. Are there any others around? However, there were two things that interested me about the build of "La Belle": The first is that the garboard plank and the one immediately above merge directly into the rudder rather than the keel, thus making the lowermost gudgeons of the rudder having to be bolted directly to the upper of the two planks. The second is that the gunport covers open sideways. Does anyone know if these were normal practice on French ships of the period? Tony === First build: Caldercraft HM Cutter Sherbourne 1763 FINISHED 2nd build: Triton cross-section COMPLETED 3rd build: La Chaloupe Armée / 42ft Armed Longboat of 1834 by tkay11 – scale 1:36, plans by M. Delacroix COMPLETED 4th build: Allège d’Arles 1833 (Ancre) POB by tkay11 – scale 1:100, plans by F. Fissore COMPLETED Working on La Jacinthe 1:96 POB (ANCRE publications)
SketchupModeller Posted March 24, 2013 #2 Posted March 24, 2013 Another odd point I noticed was that all the frames were doubled except for the part closest to the keel. I'm curious whether this was common practice as well. Brandon Current project: HMS Pandora (1779) CAD build (on hold)
st george Posted March 25, 2013 #3 Posted March 25, 2013 Great video of a great build. Wish I had the skill to do that. I do like the idea of a practicum to model in 3D David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat

Tony Tony, you say there is another tutorial on a hull shape-- Where?
Dacoit Posted April 7, 2013 #5 Posted April 7, 2013 Tony, Sorry I may have posted my query badly. What I'd meant to say was " Where is the other tutorial on the web?"
