RN. Pegaso, the Upholder killer
Hi everyone,
I'm starting here the building of the Torpedo escort boat Pegaso, the ship which allegedly sunk the british submarine Upholder e surely the HMS Thorn. The model was ready at the beginning of september when disaster struck. My computer crashed, and I lost all the 3d models and the textures. Just couple of days ago I've discovered some backup files I had made. These are the pictures of the rendered 3d model, nothing else has survived, except for the unpholded model jpg. I used pepakura to do so, but I discovered that It couldn't save the texture in high resolution... so I had to redesign again them by hand using the basic shape. As you can see, the model is not complete. I'm not very pratical with 3d models, so I designed only those parts that I couldn't design by hand. |

Ciao, Ottimo lavoro con lo scafo del Pegaso. Ti invidio un casino! Mi piacerebbe anche a me creare da zero i modelli ma, a parte che sono una vera frana con i programmi di 3d, sinceramente non ho tempo con una moglie esigente e soprattutto due figlie. Forza continua cosė!
Marco

As normal, when I thought everything was going smooth and easy, disaster stroke. The lower bridge marks don't agree with the upper ones. the reason? easy, when I projected the hull I gave to the sections sequential numbers, then I used only half of them, and rechanged the numbers sequence... unfortunatelly, I didn't change the numbers in one table, or I used an old one, anyway, section 13 was 12 and viceversa. I will correct...

Ok,
I'm here again. After correcting the wrong section (look the red arrow), i'm back on track again. This is the rear hull |

Then, I try to put the front part and... It's 2mm lower???
How is this possible? The piece came from Pepakura, and I used for the 3d model the same scheme than the pieces that I designed manually. I checked the dimensions three times and they were right up to the pixel... Well, back to Gimp and here is the hull finished. |

Nice, really like the bright green hull bottom, makes the model pop. Looking forward to more of this most excellent build/design.
