Anyway, back to the point: if I was you I’d be wanting to turn this into a hard copy that was sat on a shelf, that’s all. And because it’s currently soft copy, you could do that at whatever scale you wanted. True about the sails, unlikely that you could get something good via printing, and of course you’d have to do all the rigging by hand. mtaylor 1 Quote Kevin https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ktl_model_shop Current projects: HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller / Scratch, kind of active, depending on the alignment of the planets) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23247-hms-victory-by-kevin-the-lubber-heller-1100-plastic-with-3d-printed-additions/ Cutty Sark 1:96 (More scratch than Revell, parked for now) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/30964-cutty-sark-by-kevin-the-lubber-revell-196 Soleil Royal 1:100 (Heller..... and probably some bashing.

I feel it might be possible with further tweaking as there's a lot of intersecting geometry, and each part / plank would have to be printed solo. It'd be a big job refining it , printing it all, and then finding ways to put it all together again. Some parts might need real world readjustment or refinement, and indeed the sails and rigging would have be the same as how you guys do them with your wooden models. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted April 12 Author Share #153 Posted April 12 Hey, I'm still here! 👀 I've made some fairly significant progress on the texturising, rigging and modelling this ship -- including setting up a figurehead which took me a long time! I'm still doing some final cleanup but I'm finally nearly ready for some renders. I've started working in a job full time so I haven't had as much time as I used to, but I'm still doing bits on this every night. I should be posting some more updates (comparatively) soon. Keep your eyes peeled! CDR_Ret, bwross11 and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted June 2 Author Share #154 Posted June 2 She's finally ready! I know she's not perfect, but I'm genuinely proud of this render! ccoyle, mtaylor, Bernard Huc and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace Whitlock Posted October 2 Share #155 Posted October 2 @Kurtis looks amazing! I model ships as well although still learning alot and wanted to ask if you would be able to maybe give some tips and such as I would love to get my ships to the level you have! either way great work I am intrigued in what you have in store next mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robska Posted 14 hours ago Share #157 Posted 14 hours ago (edited) I just read this from start to finishand I love the process and adore the final result! This is a masterpiece! 😍 Just as the other user above I am looking to learn to model ships. I have tried multiple times but I got stuck and then forgot about it. I just started a new small project of a yacht. And I am kinda stuck again. See image: https://imgur.com/a/6MIwOYe These are the plans: https://imgur.com/PJol0ET The question is: how does the model look and how do I continue from here? Should I clean up the hull first? How do I 'thicken' the hull? I would be really happy if you can teach me. Edited 4 hours ago by Robska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin-the-lubber Posted 13 hours ago Share #158 Posted 13 hours ago That’s quite an achievement Kurtis, it looks highly detailed and convincing. Is there a way to let people see it in 3D? You know, rotate, zoom, all that kind of thing.
