Orthanc's Creation Thread

If you`ve done your homework, you would know it is a ship from the Narnia books :)
Spacer keeps yapping about it :goodjob:


What! Books?! You know I can't Read!
 
the Dawn treader is a ship that Prince Caspian sailed to the end of the world in...accompanied by Reep-a-cheep the mouse, Lucy and Edmund Pevencie, and Eustace Scrubb(A miserable sort of boy)


 
The Poop is the raised portion of the aft of a ship. The Head is where you take a dump.
 
Though the officers often had their own enclosed toilets by the stern. There's a scene in Master and Commander (love that movie, go figure) where, as they're sailing near Antarctica, there's a guy at the Head using a toilet in the blizzard. Ah, the life of a sailor:lol:

Even on ships where the stern is level with the rest of the deck, this part part of the top deck is always called the poop deck, even though it might be marked just by a white line.
 
Thats one of my favorite movies, too.... Russel Crowe, you're so Dreamy! Wait.. wait. .no... I like cannons.

Actually, on US Navy ships, which have either the stern level with the forecastle, or where the stern is lower than the forecastle, the stern is called the Fantail (due to the screws being at the aft end of the ship).... The modern Navy doesn't have poop decks on any ship, execpt the USS Constitution (yes, the ship IS still comissioned, and it is still crewed entirely by US Navy enlisted and officers, making it the second oldest commissioned warship in the world. The oldes is the HMS Victory, Lord Admiral Nelson's Flagship from the Battle of Traflagar)

You'd never guess who's the captain there... :D

If that's you, that's awesome. I gotta get on a tall ship some day...
 
I've too been on Old Ironsides.. about fifteen years ago.
 
@orthanc,
That's a nice looking boat-hull again. :thumbsup:

I just may have to ask how you do those ship hulls that-look-like-in-some-15th-century-paintings-you-know-short-wide-and-extremely-curved... hulls :)

Hoho!
I beat you all - I made the old ironsides ;)

Welcome Back! How was your trip?
 
(for the Dawn Treader) This blob:

#declare HObj= blob {threshold .4
sphere {<0,0,0>,6,1 scale <5,2,1.3>}
sphere {<0,0,0>,10,-.32 translate x*14}
sphere {<0,0,0>,6.3,-.3 scale <3.5,2.1,1> translate <-19,5,-4.3>}
sphere {<0,0,0>,6.3,-.3 scale <3.5,2.1,1> translate <-19,5,4.3>}};

then 'chisel' out the decks with cylinders intersected by boxes.

WTH? Its going to take me a life-time to learn Pov-Ray! Tho if I actually took some time to finaly get around to it, it might go faster :crazyeye:
