You have done amazingly well
It looks great. I hope this has increased your knowledge of autocad to the benefit of your business.
Can't wait to see it printed.

 :-) well finished it, pm on way, just need to know what format to save it in for converting to, even then it may not print as needed, it's not as good as I hoped but it does look good to me.

What format is it in at the moment? My printer uses STL files but I have the software to deal with most other 3d formats

Wow that is fantastic
I can't thank you enough for your help, you have done incredibly well for someone who is learning.
You must be an expert now.
The wings look beautiful and in such detail.
I'm exhibiting the Alaska at the international Model Boat Show in November at Warwick.


Thank you Essex2 for the help with the print, I wish we used christian names I don't feel that I can thank you both properly with aliases
Just be assured that you will not be forgotten in the build book.

No problem :)


The name its Gary BTW :)
As I said earlier I'm happy to do the print out as a proof of concept, but I do feel once you are happy with the design you get it reprinted by someone like shapeways in their frosted ultra detail

yea I noted that, its evened out as both wings are mirrored versions, so both wings are the same, anyway - its not broke - its just feathering as its got a boat shoved up its backside  %%.

the thing may not print out as all the individual parts may be strewn with errors, never created a 3d solids that needed to be printed out before. its all 'connected' with hopefully most of the top section connected to get over the feathered bit, as stated it may take a bit of repair but the concept is there, its done on AutoCAD 2014 in the 3d solids mode, save in AutoCAD 2007 format - dont know if there is a better way of saving it - will check the export options for a suitable version and forward it on to Kerrsy.  :-))

Hi all
Thank for your assistance in this, if it's any help the length from tip of the beak to wing tip is 153mm

so an a4 print out i did of the first photo was not that far out, from nose to tail its about 198mm not the 101 as previously thought, so the voids should disappear in the print out.

That sounds good to me
I think a first print would tell us where we are in size
The 153mm or 6" from beak tip to wing tip is the 1/12th scale of the original
that the boat is based on.
I think you have done wonders from a photo.

 :-) , been at it again, revised the model made the wings without voids, reset them to the body, revised the body so they look better, and scaled it to be the 153mm long as requested -phew, so come on - those with eagle eyes have not noticed that its missing its crest and feet, lol, suppose that on the cards next  %%

as pm'd, do you have a definitive dimension between the wing tips and top leading edges in relation to your boat, those used on the 'model' are a guessitimate.
