    Apollo 11-12 Recovery Carrier USS Hornet CVS-12 (Waste of time thread)

    Thanks for the reply......I appreciate your honesty, but I am not looking for someone to design for me. I am just attempting to locate the info related to the vessel. I have a copy of the Revell kit, but it's not suited for my purposes as one isuue is it's small size. 1-350 fits well and can...

    Apollo 11-12 Recovery Carrier USS Hornet CVS-12 (Waste of time thread)

    Hello....sorry for the delay but I don't get online often as I am heads over heels in the creation of this Apollo Anniversary Project. The recovery carrier is being added to an existing display of spacecraft, launch vehicle, LUT and yes is a much involved process but well worth it due to it's...

    Apollo 11-12 Recovery Carrier USS Hornet CVS-12 (Waste of time thread)

    Thanks Zathros...that is a great kit for the early version which was lost. I'm looking for the Essex class CVS-12 which is the modernized vessel. Thankfully she still exists as a museum ship in Alameda CA. Yes research and obtaining the proper info is the biggest and challenging part of the process.

    Apollo 11-12 Recovery Carrier USS Hornet CVS-12 (Waste of time thread)

    Thanks Gandolf50....I have checked out the site and pulled a little info. What I need is good drawings and any specs to help design a new card model of her. It will be in 1-350 scale and cover her from every phase of service. First priority however is in her final configuration as the Apollo...

    Apollo 11-12 Recovery Carrier USS Hornet CVS-12 (Waste of time thread)

    I am expanding my search since there appears to not be a kit of the Hornet in any scale available into data to create a model of the ship in 1-350 scale. Does anyone know of or have suggestions as to where I might find line drawings, useful accurate data and such to use in this creation? This is...

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Ok after much review, testing and weighing the options I am going to be using Blender and Inkscape as my design tools in making those model parts and such. Availability, reliability of the programs and what they can do along with the affordability of the software helped in my decision. So yes...

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Hello Bigpetr...... Yes budget is a major concern as I don't have the funds for Rhino and since I do have Blender downloaded, seems like I should give it a go. I guess I just need to know the correct questions to have asked in the beginning. Well apologies as that is my disability getting in the...

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Rhino is the answer I believe as far as the software tool needed. Thanks for and I appreciate your input Zathros...... Rhino + practice = project parts :iagree: Hmm now just to find them as they seem to be stuck in my PC :Computer: lol

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Thanks ZathrosI agree with you about the learning...so I am listening:) I recognized the animation aspects and did a little research into Maya and said whoops....wrong track. So Rhino will unfold as well and if so, will be the single program to do what is needed for card model design ?

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Thank you Nero you have helped a great deal. You are correct in that experience with the program will make the difference. So practice and some time will get me to where I want to be. :animated::Bravo:

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Hello Nero on fire.... So out of curiosity what tools do most people use ? I am looking into Rhino, Blender is available as an open source program...kind of at a crossroads so to speak....you have to have a capable program to create those files and then a way to "flatten" them out....over...

    Nando I as well am an engineer so I can relate to what you have written and appreciate it. Unfortunately I am no longer able to continue in my profession due to disabilities which prevent me from the industry. Thankfully there are other ways to continue such as this activity to challenge the...

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    Looks like for me my modeling time will be spent at the keyboard rather than with a hobby knife. My work bench is mostly packed due to a move we will be making in the near future after our house sells and our realtor said it looked cluttered. Hmm not a modeler lol......anyway, I plan on looking...

    Apollo Saturn & LUT

    I also have been looking at the Rhino website and am impressed with the support and learning tools for newbies. A very nice section of tutorials and such. Reading about it on WIKI now and am really leaning towards Rhino 5...guess I will be bit by the bug when I download the trial for examination...
