As far as i can tell the ingame USS Constitution is modeled after the constitution in its current (2014) state not how it was originally built, or during the war of 1812. The key differences are, the current USS Constitution has higher bulwarks, different stern decorations, and the bow has weather bulwarks. http://www.ussconstitutionmuseum.org/collections-history/faq/#appearance In 1798 she would have looked like this. http://www.shipmodel.com/models/constitution-old-ironsid note the different stern decorations , lower bulwarks, no weather bulwarks on the bow, and it has a figurehead. In 1812 she would have looked like this. http://www.modelexpo-online.com/album.asp?a=Thomsen_USS-Constitution note it no longer has a figurehead but it has different stern decorations , lower bulwarks, no weather bulwarks on the bow. Changing the ingame Constitution to an earlier state would also fix the current problem of its bow chasers firing thru the weather bulwarks. I believe most the the changes to the USS Constitution (the bow weather bulwarks, different stern, and higher side bulwarks) where done sometime after 1820. I hope the devs change the ingame constitution to the 1798 version or the 1812 version because for me it feels odd to be sailing around in a post 1820 ship. KIngEmu (ingame efalden)

Can we bring this into the modern NA era ? Maybe as a alternative to the Trader Cutter and Trade Lynx ? Rum Runner !

I've been working on a new ship and thought I'd share it with you guys, it's a 12 gun Swedish privateer and boy is it a beauty. It's the ship in this post : http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/4142-swedish-privateer-ship-12-guns-with-plans/ Here is where I'm at atm and I'll finish it in the next couple of days. The colors are just a prototype and so is the wood texture, this isn't unwrapped yet. it's just there to give a basic idea of how the ship would look colored. to do list: -bow -stern windows -rudder -gratings -some details on the side I hope you guys like what I made so far and I'll keep you updated!

Hi, Not sure if there is anywhere specific to post work on 3D models but here goes. I've been playing Naval Action for a little bit now and felt it was time to try and get back into 3D modelling after an 8 year break. The first plan I found in these forums was the French Frigate Arethuse so decided to give that a go to ease myself back in. Not sure what model resolution the game takes (or if it would ever be worthy) but this 'test' run will probably be of average resolution. Should be an interesting learning curve using Blender (after coming from Maya). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_frigate_Aréthuse_(1792) Early start. The first 2 were just using the picture plans as is. I had no idea how the rear was made so after this start had a look at a load of reference material and website where people were building models. Pictures 3, 4, and 5 show progress after taking the plans and creating vertical reference image slices along the hull. I was surprisingly close in shape for most of it but was quite out at the front. Oh and ignore the gun holes in the hull, they will be filled in for now - I just wondered how it might look so far More progress when I get the time Simon

Hey! I've got a problem which suddenly occured. The game tells me that I've got Shader Model 3 and I need Shader Model 5 to play the game. It really irritates me since there's no explanation where this suddenly comes from, since I could play the game smoothly without any problems before. I really need help, because I really like the game and want to play it ^^" So can you please tell me how to fix this and let me play the game again? Thanks for reading! Any help would be really appreciated. (Not sure if the picture was needed, but I added it anyways.)

Dear NA community, I've started work on a new ship. It's a swedish merchantmen. Seeing that there is a high demand for merchant vessels, I'm going in that direction. I've been in contact with Game-Labs and they OK'd it as well. This is where I need help though, It's very hard to find accurate plans for merchantmen. Especially references for upper deck details. If anyone has any useful links, to anything related, to these vessels, that would be a BIG help Currently I'm using this hull plan. It's of swedish design. Current progress:
