Hi sergio,

Thanks for the comments. I am not a ‘pro’ modeller in the formal sense, just a hobby modeller.

However, having trained as a marine engineer does help.

I developed the model from photographs. The yard and owners wouldnt give out a lines diagram.

I haven’t seen the patent document, but will look now out of interest.

Regards

Ian

Here is something I have been working on for a while.

And a picture of the completed model on sea trials.

I get that if I look at the page from work, but from home its no problem, guess it depends on security settings.

I have used that site for a few years now and never had any problem from it.

Thanks for the reply.

I should have posted, but I managed to sort it out. I found the way to do the asymetric items as you described.

The recesses, yes, like your plane but pointing inwards. I did it by creating an opening, extruding inwards and creating a face on the inner end of the extrusion.

Dida,

I export the lines file to a printer, then print enough copies to allow me to cut out each individual frame, paste to wood and cut to shape.
