Default Balloon Ship

I've finished Cody's Balloon ship Tutorial and am showing what my "artistic impression" of it is, I posted in the Finished work, but I will still make some improvements to it, and I intend to texture this model also. I've uploaded a few renders for your consideration

As you might notice, I've added a keel to my ship, I just feel it needed one, and I also put a cargo cover over the cargo hold instead of a fence.

Looks good especially in the clay render always a fan off those! I'm interested in a wireframe of the woodwork going around the ship...

Thanks for the comment, let me try to post something, I've been busy. The lower hull is actually extended and the "log" part was partly sub'd and the window part was polygonal.:blush:

This time it should work. I think the size was too large

Thanks for the response; If you break things down into simple steps, even the most difficult project is doable. I enjoy Timothy Albee's attitude in his tutes and books, because he inspires you so much, he says just do what you can and push it as hard as you can and you will be surprised by what you can do.
