Hi Michael,

Many thanks for your continued efforts with this. I've decided to go with my networked hull for this model. It has a hollow which I didn't notice before which is bothering me now but much additional work has been done on it (plate extrusions etc) which I've decided I don't have time to redo.

This has been a very worthwhile exercise with some water still to flow under the bridge (ship?). I have another one to do which I will attempt with a loft and trim mindset from the beginning.

Jean-Paul, I eagerly await your thoughts on this. I have already referred to several of your threads for ideas.

Unfortunately, longitudinal curves are almost never given in the plans I have so I have had to work from stations.

I couldn't resist attaching latest progress render and a two minute scene render (with some odd coloured water!).

Cheers
