Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
Barry, thanks for the kind wishes. Thankfully, my surgeon says all looks good and things are healing nicely.
Cameron, oddly enough I am familiar with lofting, having built a small sailboat a while back. That was easier for me, going from an existing drawing to 3d object. I'm having difficulty going from 3d model to actual scale 3d object. I read about taking vertical slices of the model, enlarging them on an overhead and tracing the profiles to get the buck stations. I can't and don't really want to do this with my model though. It is 1/4 scale.
Mike, I do have most of Peter's DVDs and took Craig's Dagger class, all great stuff. We worked from existing bucks though and didn't learn how to make one from a clay model. I look forward to learning from the folks here on how best to get surface profiles to turn into buck stations.
