Building wooden ship models

Hi all,
Guy from Virginia here. I am planning to use the PE+ to develop prints to build wooden ship models.
I plan on posting here quite a bit for questions. I am recovering from 2 strokes (right cerubelum). I am sure there will be others interested from the forums that I use Modelshipworld and Modelshipbuilder. Prints will be developed to use in these models.. most quite complex.
It has been years since I used Autocad 2d and am learning 3d..
Thanks for your time!
Guy

Hi Guy,
Good to hear you are getting on with life after your troubles.
I use 3D quite a bit, so ask away and we will all try to help.
Just a thought, but have you considered 3D printing your models/parts??

Thanks Steven!
I'll be back at computer in a few hours. Chores at home. Rural va. Yes I have thought about 3d printing. Especially for canons. But. I don't have a printer.
As far as tutorials. I am looking on web for refreshers. I used autocad for years at UVA.
I hope to get others here as well
Thanks.
Guy

Hi Guy,
I am not boat builder but I have memorized a few years ago this:
Use gCAD3D + Handplane Baker + FreeShip apps to make 3D boat freely with SPLINE S !
