OK, that is pretty much as I modelled my VOC ship (Dutch East Indies
Company) many years ago. I also used the profile plans in a similar way.

This one was an earlier version (2005) built in Moray.

Maybe you know DELFTship? I have been using its free version:
https://www.delftship.net/delftship/
It is very comprehensive.

Hi,
I don't understand why you don't export directly using the pov addon ?
I really need the feedback to improve if something is broken?

I am using version 2.79, never went to 3. Too many changes, and I only use the
mesh editor.

Good. Taking shape rapidly. Are you using object patterns for the colors?

No, that didn't work. Especially with the fake gun ports. From the plans I took
the X- and Y-coordinates for the color bands, and with SDL I create closed
meshes, that I intersect with the hull. So the hull is split in 4 different
sections, each with its own color.
Here is the latest update, the hawsepipes for the mooring ropes are added, plus
the cap rail.
Cheers
Ton.
