Modelling service

Post by Mick68 »

I am hoping someone can point me in a direction of a modelling service that could work with the attached image and produce a model for me. I am only after the boat in the foreground.

I'm guessing that you are getting no takers on your model because making a model that will "cut decently" will be next to impossible from your photo. When a say "cut decently" I mean that will look nice. All those people are just going to be blobs even with a 1/32" TBN bit.

There are numerous modelers on this forum that make a living creating models and they have not responded.

Creating custom models can be time consuming and expensive. Unless a custom modeler thinks there is a market where other people want to buy your boat they will probably not even entertain this commission.

Do you have a higher resolution photo?
Do you want the people on the boat?
What style of boat is it so an internet search could reveal a better photo?

No I don't need all the people on the boat. Maybe 4 would be nice.
This is going to be carved to approximately 2000mm x 800mm.
Ultimately, I am looking for a wooden longboat with oars, sail and 3 or 4 people.

When you find a good picture you like try Jim Darles at legacycncdesigns.com. I commissioned him to create some 3d designs from jpg files I sent him.

Great work at what I thought was a fair and reasonable price. See attached pictures of two of the designs.
