    Paused Bava's HMS Southampton-32 guns, 1757

    I absolutely love the treatment you gave the old lady, great work! That great cabin and figure head...*thumbsup* The one thing I`d change is converting the windows of the quarter galleries to false lights, except for the upper row of the window in the middle :)

    carriages ... ship guns

    Also: da red wunz go faster :P Red ochre certainly was one of the cheapest paints available. If I remember correctly, ochre also prevents the drying out of wood due to sunlight which may be why it was most commonly used for the inner bulwarks on the quarterdeck/forecastle and the upper deck...

    WIP HMS Indefatigable (1784) frigate - take 2

    Um, what? Does it bend the space-time continuum, too? :P And my models are rather amateurish, check out this one on MSW. Really crazy pro stuff :) By the way, I´m currently preparing a blender tutorial group build over at NA (all participants model the same ship). Once we get started, I'll...

    WIP HMS Indefatigable (1784) frigate - take 2

    Modeling stuff like this would drive me crazy. Kudos for going the extra mile, this is going to be an extraordinary model!

    Tutorial How to prepare a ship plan for 3D modelling

    This danish copy of the british original is more interesting than I though, because it isn´t a simple copy but parts of it are completely redrawn (the body plan). I´m currently trying to figure out why and how the danish...uh, visitor to the admiralty archives did this. Interestingly, the body...

    Tutorial How to prepare a ship plan for 3D modelling

    This is the successor of my other tutorial, 'Reading a ship plan' and the second of four tutorials (basic hull modelling and basic texturing are next). I´ll take a ship I´ve already modeled as base for this tutorial, the frégate légère La Panthère (HMS Amazon in british service) of 1744...

    Tutorial How to read a ship plan

    It´s on the top of my to-do list ;) I have to download the pictures from gameslab, though, as I accidentally deleted the tutorial folder on my pc. In retrospect, I shouldn´t have named it "1", "Tutorial Picture Folder - do not delete!!" would have been much better :P If you have any...

    Solved Windows 10: Low Frame Rates Despite (BECAUSE OF!) Good Hardware

    Im using nvidia inspector to set fps in games like skyrim and xcom 2, works really well. It should have a setting for potc, too ☺

    Tutorial How to read a ship plan

    Copy-pasta'd from my original post over at the NA-forum, I thought it´d be nice to have it here, too. For this tutorial, I chose the plan of the Gefion, a danish 24-pounder frigate launched in 1843. Why choose a plan for a ship that´s out of the timeframe? Because it´s easy to read, contains...

    [WIP] HMS Endymion 1797

    Good job, mania.....ehh, martes! Any chance for close up of the figure head, I´m pretty interested how the conversion from 300k to 5k tris worked out. By the looks of it, unwrapping that thing isn´t going to be fun :P

    Music - La traverse miraculeuse

    Been listening to this album a lot lately, mostly while modeling. Great interpretation of french 18th century tunes with amazing voices, so why not share it :) Here are three songs I could find on YT:

    Reſearch, writing (incl. ortography), &c.

    Welcome to the forums, Radetzky, good to see that my thread over at TW drew some attention :) And a big thunps up for this application! You raised a very interesting point with dialogues in a 'Schewjk-esque' style. By the way, I´m just one of the many ship modellers here, I just used the...

    Your Art

    o_O Wow. Just wow. Not much to contribute to this thread except an Europa Barbarorum-inspired wallpaper I made a couple of years ago (the soldier is pencil-drawn, rest was made with GIMP):
