Hi folks,
this project should have been a surprise until its done but after showing some pics in two other threads I might as well open a new topic for it.
The ship is based on Plate 33 in Hendrik af Chapman´s Architectura Mercatoria Navalis and is described as a privateer with 26 18 pounders on the main battery and 12 6 pounders on quarter and fore deck (I think I´ll replace the 6 pounders with carronades, though).
All done with Blender 2.49a, tris count is ca. 19.500, no textures used , just materials.
Keel and fasle keel in detail
Wireframe
The colour scheme is based on the contemporary model of a Bellona-class frigate (also designed by Chapman) in the swedish national maritime museum.
C&C more than welcome!
Regards,
Bava
