Hi all,
I've been working on a Sims conversion and I'm wondering is anyone would like to check my work. I'm not a professional draftsman or anything, just a guy who fins this stuff fun. There's also a thread at the Virtual Ship Modeling part of the site, but I wasn't sure if any other Sims-o-philes had seen it.
Any comments on the parts? Where can I improve them? Given that this will be printed in 1/350th eventually, there is a practical limit to how far down the miniaturization scale I can take the little fiddly bits, and I've had to simplify a number of details, like the piping arrangements and the connectors anchoring the piping to the funnel, for them to have a chance at being printable.
The Photobucket album is here (

The large mushroom vent in between the forward uptake legs will also be done. Is there anything else underneath the uptakes on the main deck level? My Floating Drydock plans really don't show anything.
Thank you for any pointers.
Bob
