The image below is of the redrawn battleship, with a new hull and complete overhaul of decking and rigging. I noticed the V Ray renders lacked a little bit of definition, so I overlayed the lines from Sketchup in Photoshop by rendering out the profile of the scene using the Views option and removing the sky and ground. I was very pleased with the result and redid some of my previous renders to include the line overlay.
There are a lot of problems to overcome with texturing and normalising the model, but the majority of it in place and even displays nicely in the Preview. My only concerns are the poly count, which is getting rather high for my liking.
