State of Art old lines drawings.
I once did the hull lines from a hundred years old drawings. I had to refresh how to recalculate the coordinates of feet’s – inches -eighths and manually input offset table. There were no original drawings. There were only pictures of them. Once again, I was amazed by the quality of the old drawings. When smoothing the lines of the hull, the surface went to the original points easily. And, in the end, I made well faired hull for production.

6 年Somebody will just say that you are too romantic! I think, long time ago shipbuilding was passion, so lines had to be smooth! But, even now days, if you don't really like it you will not be good in it.

6 年I have done this many times , and it always feels like you are freeing an old master from the paper. Hard work but very therapeutic.
