Early FUSO

Paper Lab · Post by **Paper Lab** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 10:58 am

This is my take on an early FUSO iterations. 1915, 1919 and 1924. All three models are in 1/1250 scale. I used of course an excellent AOTS FUSO by Janusz Skulski to do my research and design. Compared to the amount of data on her WWII configuration it is rather sparse. It makes me a bit concerned I might made some glaring errors without knowing it.... well beside paint color of course.
Features are overscaled due to the manufacturing requirement which is obvious considering it has to be cast in metal.

PS. I am not sure why the bow part of the pics has been cut off

Awesome work Darius. I prefer the 24 version myself. More of that pagoda look.

Don't listen to them, the early fuso is much much more beautiful!

Amazing work, and i love the wood floors - for a second i thought it was a real model (unpainted) !

Thank you guys,

I appreciate kind comments. Of course I made a mistake, the last version of FUSO is from 1925 and not 1924.
Anyway, since you like the pictures I can post a few more.
Would love to do model of this majestic ship in her real size though....

Yeah, you had me too!

Obviously these images are cgi. And fairly fast and dirty for that. It wasn't my intention to fool anybody. Sorry guys. Nevertheless I'll take the complement...

I do my modeling in Rhino, render in Maxwell and Flamingo.

They look great - just like a real 3 dimensional Navis/Neptun 1:1250 scale model.

Well, I'm still here looking at the pictures trying to see them as CGI and not 1:350 models.
Beautiful job Darius

I ought to ask, what is the point of posting images to this topic if they are no longer visible or aren't maintained for all to see? The topic is worthless without the imagery......

My bad. A while ago I was spring cleaning my Image Shack account and thought these images were not used. Completely forgot about this post. Hopefully this will rectify my mistake...
