Hi Sean,
I think Grady means Thibault Caradec @otowa .
But it’s more about learning to model (from reference). Whether it’s a ship or a car or a house or…
A Viking ship will be a very different process, than a modern navy ship or a cruise ship.
About the shape, try using a Lattice. And yes, Thibault has some experience making (wooden) boats; maybe he has some useful advice.
