Boats, etc.

Here are some of the projects I'm working on using SketchUp, Pepakura, Photoshop.

Floating Kitchen, a fantasy medieval boat inspired by the small junks that ply the waterways of southeast Asia, selling meals like a street food's cart. There's a pot-bellied stove onboard, and some space in the cabin to store and prepare food. Large windows on the starboard side are used for serving take-away.

Assembly test:



Refinements before texturing:

River Barge concept:



This one's based on a design from an old Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign book. I've waited more than 20 years to be able to build it!

Here's the reference image:

Very interesting models Dave! These could easily be a starting point for full-sized boat plans.

Dear Dave:
Intersting, love the smaller boats rather than ships.
thanks,

Really looking forward to these, Dave! After your Smuggler's Skiff and Patrol Boat, I've been hoping you;d do some more watercraft!
