Frame Update!
Kyle here:
Since my last update I've finished the initial run of hull frames, pretty much outline all the hull curvature and providing the main guidance I need to work on a bunch of other areas.
These last frames fill in the fore and aft ends of the hull and include the frames in the counter stern.
These are not all the final frames - some will be replaced at least in part with web frames and bulkheads. There are frames fore and aft that require extra work, too. Nevertheless, this will help to move ahead to other parts, and it's quite a relief since it's been pretty tedious making these frames.
Next I may start on any number of brackets for the frames or other related parts.
Happy New Year!

Crazy that they could figure out such steel geometry on such a scale back then
Thanks Kyle. Beautifully done. Have a superb 2024.
Incredible work!! Happy New Year to everyone...
Looks amazing.
This is so cool to see. I hope you will have the option to explore the ship in various building state in the game.
Thanks man, stay up! So are these also breakable? For that final plunge?
For there final plunge animation they used the older “Doll house” model, which has breakable sections eg the Forward and Aft towers, bow and stern yadada. But this model is being built to fit interiors and that into it so I doubt it’ll be used for a break up or final plunge animation. I can’t say for sure tho
It would be awesome If Belfast could be released as early access and we could watch the ship come together.
Looks great! Happy New year! 🎉
