well got lucky and went to grab cad and they had the Nordcap all drawn up in solidworks. Now I just need to get some parts and plans made. also got a ton of boats and ships that were drawn in solidworks including the HMS Dreadnaught so now I have several yrs of projects converting these into detailed plans and also some stuff to build both simple and complex

Ok So I used that cad file to get me a base scale so that I could get my keel length properly and then used that length to set up and enlarge my drawings and so now I have the first parts of the plans drawn up

I'm envious, wish I had the skill like that to reverse engineer a hull - actually being able to finish a project is my main problem.

lol my problem is just getting a decent set of plans to laser cut me a kit and build I am really "xxxxx" when it comes to scale but I will have to bite the bullet for a couple boats just to learn. reverse engineering isnt hard in solidworks out just create a plane where you want a bulkhead or wall andthen take the solid model that was built and say intersect plane and it auto traces around the part then you have to just edit to the way you want it to be on the inside etc

well after several tests and attempts I found the boat i will be doing and have been working on my drawings.

I am doing a Daman Stan Patrol Boat of the Coast guard Cutter Class in 1/24th scale 70"

I took some my overtime and ordered the dumas rusty the shrimpboat to build but then I will enlarge it to 72" and uber scale it out with hopefully working booms and nets to go out and actually trawl hehe mauby use it for catching minnows or crawdaddys
