Tutorials are okay for learning the basics, but I suggest learning what each tool does and how it manipulates pixels. I find that tutorials cannot prepare you for questions in the classroom or projects on the job. Find some textures (i.e. concret, wood, granite, carpet, etc.) and see if you can recreate them yourself. \n\nOne of the things I used to do was ask a potential hire to make rust using Photoshop. I wasn't really interested in if they could make realistic rust or not, but I wanted to see what tools they used and if they were familiar enough with the program to at least attempt making rust.

for a model of a ship from the 1400 you can look into any kind of painting from that period showing ships.for building a float-able model you can use polystyrene(the white light stuff used to protect a new TV in her box for example)you take a cube of this and with a sharp cutter carve the form of the ship out of it.then some paint and imagination will do the rest.oh,in order to make it float straight you must make it as symmetrical as possible and add some weight on the lower part.a long nail or screw will do f.e.

well you can use 3d max or maya ( its betta to use 3d max if its not very high weighted model ) in case of 3d max you'll have to get 3 drawings of the model. 1 from front/back, 1 from side & 1 from top or bottom. Scan them & then edit it using 3d max as you'll have to play with volume & vertex in it.

There are various sites that explain how to build a paper blimp, just scale them up, as far as material goes you need an airtight flexible material that isnt subject to uv attack, mylar is the favorite.

There is a book called "Barbie,Four Decades of Fashion, Fantasy, and Fun" by Marco Tosa which has a bit about the manufacturing process in it, including pictures of molds, painting, hair rooting, etc.  Also "The Story of Barbie" by Kitturah Westenhouser.\nI don't know of any websites which show the process though...
