looking for CADder - Space:1889 Cloudship and Gunboat Hulls
« on: February 10, 2017, 01:42:01 PM »
I am looking for someone who can 3-d-model (for fun and profit, but mostly profit :o)

I want to start a cloudship combat game based on the Space:1889 background (see link below). To do so, I need ship models in roughly 1/300th scale.

As I don't want to model all of them from scratch, here's my idea: I would like to have the basic hull shapes 3-d-modelled and printable. I will then add detail, rigging etc. to the prints by hand.

To that end, I am looking for someone who can competently model the hull shapes: not a lot of surface detail, but composite bodies sporting surfaces curved on multiple axes etc. Here's an example of a ship to llustrate what I mean: https://blackcampbell.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/hullcutter.jpg?w=510

I'll be more than happy to pay a reasonable hourly rate for that task.

This would be strictly for private use, not commercial, so I don't think there are any IP pitfalls.

Is any of the gentlemen here (acquainted with someone who is) capable of doing this? If so, please do give a shout.

Not a modeler (3D print), but might help prospective applicants to give rough lengths, both original designs and your figures.

I've not seen a lot of info on what the original folks had in mind, though I've maps from the Cloudships box, as well as the supposedly 1/1200 figs.

Try doing a search on Shapeways.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I found a community member who can do this. Will post piccies once the project gets going.
