Hello,
I have the 3D books of Bismarck, Scharnhorst and Prinz Eugen. They are really amazing. I have enjoyed every page when reading. I am not sure if the Scharnhorst book is from you Viktor, but it is also a great book. The drawings in 1/350 scale included in those books are very nice indeed. This series of 3D books is in my opinion the best in the market Today and worth every penny. If I can make a constructive critisism I would say that the hull deseve more detail but the superstructure is fantastic. Some of the renders are like a photograph, the funnel for example.
On the other hand I have a question for you Viktor. When I've received the book of Bismarck, it came with only one page of drawings. It seems that the whole rear superstructure is missing. I've wrote to the publisher (Kagero in Poland) asking if something is missing but they never answer, despite of the fact that I have purchased several items from them. Could you please tell me if there is one page I've missed when I bought that book ? Many thanks in advance.
For Joe, I have also worked in solid works and I hate it. It is expensive and complicated to use for me but produce nice results. Modification to the model is relatively easy since the model is parametric. Change the parametres and you change the shape of the model. Surfaces like a ship's hull is hard to do it in Solid Works, I use Rhinoceros instead and it is much easier to work with producing nice results, less expensive than SW (about 7 times less) and with the possibility to calculate the hydrostatics and other properties, although it is not parametric like SW.
Bismarck is one of my fvorite ship, so I'am working in a model in Rhino thinking to use a CNC machine to make the pieces.
