Does anyone know where I can purchase boats, yachts, ships and other nautical objets and props? Thanks!

3dcafe is a good source of objects of all kinds. Zhann (here on this forum) has a wonderful sextant - although it might be too sophisticated for your needs. There is also a fantastic HMS Victory for sale - I don't know where but a simple search here might find it for you. regards The Bryster

actually Zhann (troublemaker that she is..;) got a few people to do sextants, globes, astrolabs, and Babbage engines..the appeal of precision-machined brass has a strange hold on some of us..;) I've seen a few compass-like things..I'd just search freestuff on whatever you're looking for..if you had Poser, I'd send you to Anthony Appleyard's Space Storie..he has a serious jones about diving and boats in general..

How much money you got? If youre seriously wealthy, or just serious about models, look at the ships made by Despona. I think you can find them on turbosquid. If I won the lottery second thing Id do is go buy his set of CDs. On the other hand the Victory by Hankster is available here in the marketplace at what I think is a giveaway price, about $15 I think, and you`ll see it featured in many gallery posts. Planit3d also has few nice free boats s does 3dcommune. It all depends on what you want in the way of era, quality, price, format stc. Hope this helps.

That's all I have for sale here : ships. Viking ship or 18th century 3 master, you can get it from my store too. (http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?Who=faveral) The 3 master even has a version that's specifically designed for Bryce 5, using materials created in the DTE. You can see several renderings of it in my gallery : http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Yes&Artist=faveral Thanks you guys for forgetting my ship ! :) (dang Victory always gets mentionned first !... But I have to admit it's a great model too !)
