Some very nice detailed work on the rudder and tiller with its belaying pin en sheaves, Shota.

As expected, you’ve done a fantastic job on the rudder too, Shota. The rudder looks great.

my dear friends
look what I have achieved with the AI for to be able to build the two lifeboats

I am seeking guidance on which AI model is recommended for modeling boat parts from blueprints, as well as instructions on the workflow leading up to

Hello my dear friends, As some of you know, for about two years now, I have been building the L'Amarante model using the Ancre monograph. I am attaching a link to the build log...

Unfortunately, you couldn't bring that beautiful model to Hamburg, Shota. But the finely detailed work you showed clearly demonstrates your skills. And you’re a great neighbor on the second floor of the IMM.
Regards, Peter

Peter, my dear and beloved friend, Thank you so much for the warm words and compliments—the honor is entirely mine!
It was a privilege to be part of the shipsofscale.com team at the exhibition, alongside you and Maarten with your magnificent models!!!
on my right, and Ondras71 and Marsalv with their amazing models on my left.
It is simply a pleasure to spend this weekend in your company.
And let’s not forget our good friends from Germany—like Daniel—who also displayed truly impressive models!

I recommend taking a look at the photo from the exhibition in Hamburg.

I think that not everybody can look there. Because it's a private conversation

Yep.

Good evening, my dear friends.
After a few weeks spent preparing for—and thoroughly enjoying—the conference in Hamburg, I have returned to the "track" of creating my ship model.
Over the past week, I continued working on the lifeboats with the assistance of the "Claude" AI model. It handled the challenge quite well;
I made it clear from the start that the output was intended for laser cutting and assembly, so it ran numerous 3D simulations at my request until an optimal fit was achieved.
In the last 24 hours, I began the laser-cutting process for the keel, frames, and other components required to build the ship's hull—including the assembly jig.
I should emphasize that this is an experimental, testing phase, conducted before building the actual model using the final materials (pearwood, boxwood, and ebony).
For this test, I am using 2mm-thick basswood sheets, along with 2.8mm-thick maple for the keel.
before starting work on this self-designed model, I purchased a similar kit—comparable in structure, size, and scale—to learn from the construction process and avoid potential mistakes.
This has indeed been helpful for both the build itself and for guiding the AI model.
I’d like to share some photos of the process, which is currently in full swing; it will likely take a few more weeks to complete.
I hope you enjoy the photos—
wishing us all a pleasant and enjoyable weekend!

Wow, Shota! You'll be selling your own line of kits in no time!

Very well done Shota. Seeing all these more modern methods on the forum for working more precisely and quickly, I sometimes wonder if I should upgrade too—but I still thoroughly enjoy drawing by hand, sawing, and spending hours fitting and filing. Still, I do admire all those other methods.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi Shota,
As I looked at your very impressive planning and laser cutting two thoughts came into my head (similar to Paul’s post) - wow, Shota will be producing “Shota Ship kits” before long .
