It is not so much that I am a perfectionist (I am a bit but not 
excessively) but I have regularly problems with finding the 
right/correct way to do things or to apply the correct solution to a 
problem.

I am slowly working towards the moment when I shall reveal some of my 
recent work: an architectural project I started in 2009 with Moray, 
shelved till the beginning of 2021, interrupted by the granites project, 
and restarted in January 2022...

I like that decorative curved-wood railing(?) around the fore-deck. A
sphere-sweep?

I am watching the construction of this ship with interest; nice work so far.

Hi Kenneth, that edge around the foredeck are just a couple of cylinders. I know
where the vertices of the mesh are, and just draw the cylinders.

Thomas, looking forward to your never-ending project.

The Balclutha now has its bulwark-rail and stanchions. I also added the bitts.

Cheers
Ton.

Here is a close-up of the stanchions. The photo also shows a bitt.

Cheers
Ton.

Thanks. It's just a black metallic texture with a bit of bozo pattern normal,
nothing fancy, but it looks good.

The fife rails are done, here is a photo of the mainmast one, with the bilge
pump attached.

Cheers
Ton.

Deckhouse is done. This is the largest object on Balclutha, besides the hull,
also one of the easiest.Just a RE_Box_y from roundedge.inc, cylinders and
toruses for the roof, and add the portholes and doors.

Cheers
Ton.

The ladders are done. Because the ladders are connected to the balustrade, and
the balustrade is connected to the railing, I had to do those as well. That took
a while. But without further delay, here are the latest images. The foredeck:

And the aftdeck.

The catheads sure took some time, they are complicated.
Here they are.
