a friend of mine from another german forum made several english written tutorials which could be of some interest for our 3D-friends
These I wanted to share with you

Hi
I found the tutorial on other site. Unfortunetly it's incomplete

Tutorial - How to prepare a ship plan for 3D modelling

This is the successor of my other tutorial, 'Reading a ship plan' and the second of four tutorials (basic hull modelling and basic texturing are next). I´ll take a ship I´ve already modeled as base for this tutorial, the frégate légère La Panthère (HMS Amazon in british service) of 1744...

On MSW are some topics covering 3d design. In one of them author gives some tips how he managed to get his results. Preete impresive work,but to get it you need at least work freely in blender. I tried his method and didn't come close to what he got. Fortunately in blender you can solve similar problem with diffrent method. From what I see his model is more for movies/games/visulisation with option for 3d print, but if you want to make a POB it's not that hard. I might make a tutorial if you're interested.
