HMS Surprise

[Kazeite]

By the way, Jack Harrison, where did you get the plans for Surprise?

 

[Bava]

I`d love to know that, too. I´ve found the plans for the original Rose a while ago, but I forgot where

 

[Kazeite]

Actually, while looking for pictures of Surprise's figurehead, I've found... something more
PDF describing changes to Rose for Master and Commander movie, including small set of Rose blueprints. They're kinda small and confusing (at least to me), but still...

Amazing job dude! is she ready to sail? Love to take her out to stretch her legs.

The launch is near, i have to fix some things, like the path and locators...
I searched a plan for a lot of time, but anything, so i didn't use original plans, i make the hull until the gun deck whit original surprise plan, then i've make the rest basing on picture, like this that's a perfect view of the right side:

Could you possibly make the top of the foremast a bit taller, so I can add the missing ensign there? Then she'd be perfect!

I hate to be persistent here, but is there any chance of doing this? :?

 

[Oskar94]

Yes, no problem

 

[Captain Hog]

On those screens where have you hoisted the Ensign?

 

[ZarethPL]

Just curious, are guys talking about triangulated face count or ...well, the normal one?

well games use triangles so it should be clear we aint talkin abaut the quad one

 

[Bava]

I know that, I just wanted to be sure we´re all talking about the same thing

Uhhh, very nice find, kazeite, thanks for sharing!

Here a pic ingame where you can see the ensign

And here she in battle:

What do you think?

 

[Armada]

I'm thinking she's looking great! But also that the mainmast and foremast are still a little bit short...
Just a thought, any chance the yards could be textured black, like in the photo of the real ship several posts up?
I recall pgargon did this with his RN ships...

And did something go wrong with the masts in the second screenshot? Or is that some AOP glitch? :

Look amazing m8! Cant wait to sail her in-game. Have you uploaded her yet? :will

 

[Oskar94]

@Experienced Captain: yes, really i want to make new masts and yards for her
In the second pic you can see the part of the masts that rest on board when they fall out, i have to convert the textures...

@Craiggo: No, i have to add the anchors first, then i can release a first version, than make the masts and release them...

 

[Armada]

@Experienced Captain: yes, really i want to make new masts and yards for her

Sounds good to me! I'll say no more.

are these age of pirates carribean tales screens? because the ensign on my COAS don't looks like that for sure.

I believe these are AOP City of abandoned Ships screens.

 

[Oskar94]

It's CoAS, i changed the flags because i don't like the stock one...

 

[Oskar94]

Another update, but for now no pics, i'm making the gun deck for having it walkable...

 

[Takeda-One]

Do you thing of adding some net-textures on the quarterdeck railing like those of the Constitution, we have in game?
