Nice job, nice polishing job also, at least you don't need a bucket to run it in.

I like playing and turning 2D drawings into 3D, but after one of my last computers fried about a terabyte in drives, I lost all my work and lost interest.
now I'm still re-learning the software all over again, I have to have reference pictures, so having the motor helps, but its pretty much done by eye rather that exact scale, its not like Photoshop.
Still got to sort out the rendering of the materials properly yet for this one, but most of the hard work is done.

Nice restoration of the Seebee, looks very original, so good attention to detail.
Keith - Very neat bit of graphics, can you do an SD one with all the brass and copper shown?

I should think so, I did have a go at a Marston along time ago, before the old computer went pop, lost it all except one picture, I think I can do a better seagull, as this picture looks a little basic now.
Still A nice Seabee.

Next is repairing the hole in the bottom of my lovely 1959 wooden 12ft Pencraft Sportsman boat which I damaged last Summer. followed by servicing its 1960 Evinrude 18 hp Fast Twin.Then I'll start on the Seagull 40.Then before the Springtime arrives need to free off the clutch on the Ford Essex 3ltr V6 in a ,1977 Ray Wright Delta that I have and that needs a lot of maintaining.There's plenty to keep me busy.Glad I'm retired
