Carving of Madness

[Jim]

I had hoped to create a digital 3D model of Madness on our last trip.

All the bobbing about on the water confused the hell out of the software so as yet I've failed.

I decided to have a go at creating a carving from a photo.

Here's the results so far.

This is what my software says I'll get if I carve a real piece of wood.

Not the best but to ease the pain I added some fish. 🙂

Hope you appreciate my efforts

very clever Jim, very realistic but i'm not sure about the fish on the line though.

Look at that lovely bent rod, is that what they call artistic licence?

 

Terry.

Phil had another fish on. His rod really was bent over.

Mine of course. . . . . . . . .  straight as a die. 😭

Clever stuff Jim, hats off to you.

[boyscott]

Very clever!

[Jim]

Thanks for the comments Gents.

It took hours to get that far but still could be better. (I think)   😉

Looks great Jim, well done mate.

[Jim]

Thanks Charlie.

If it keeps chucking it down I'll see if I can improve it.

If it turns nice I'm not going to be sitting in my office.  👍 😄

Wow love it that's really clever Jim

[Jim]

Thanks Martin.

I want to improve it before finding a suitable piece of wood to carve it on.

Just need more time.  😉

Looks as though my freelance CAD stuff is drying up now.  They've taken on 2 new staff in that dept. so I should have more free time. (Just less money) 🤣

Well dine Jim,

 

That looks really impressive and as the others say, very clever stuff 👍

Buy a boat Jim, you know you want to......🤣😂

I've got a dog Trev.

Nowhere near as expensive,  Good exercise, & I catch just as many fish as I did when I had my boat. . . . . . . .  None!  🤣

This is how it finished up!  🙂

I'm pleased with it.
