ragnar hairy trousers Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 I chose the USS Virginia because shes such a beautiful vessel and one of the first US NAVY vessels . The problem is that maybe because of her short service there seems to be very little information, pictures , models and so on.... If anyone has any information on the ship i would be most grateful??

Tomms123 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Ragnar can you take more screens of the ship with the black on the stearn? It will maybe look different then? But right now the red looks a lot better then the black due to the other colours, also it would be very odd to have one section in one colour (not normaly done).

ragnar hairy trousers Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 I like them both really.But if i had to choose i would go with the red one I wish there were more paintings and models of this vessel... shes so different from the British equivalent 28 gun ships of the day. very nice lines.

Sella Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I wish it as well.Maybe a kind American with access to archives or any other could help you on that. By the way while I was searching for pictures for the Virginia I came across a lovely model of an American privateer called Oliver Cromwell.I think she is posted in the forums.It is worth taking a look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomms123 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) I like the black sides but I dont like the black stearn. But if it have to be one colour on those parts then red, because having the whole rear black is not looking good. But otherwise black on the sides and red on the stearn So it would be interesting in how the black sides would look with the red back. Because with the black back the transition on the colour from black<yellow<black its to strong, but with black<yellow<red its a more nicer transition of colour according to me. But the black sides looks really good. Also thank you Ragnar Edited March 6, 2016 by Tomms123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnar hairy trousers Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 No need to say sorry.... I took the colours from paintings of early American vessels... as i have said before its most unfortunate that there is so little pictorial documentation of this vessel.

Haratik Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 She looks like a floating carnival with all those colors, but it is indeed a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnar hairy trousers Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 She looks like a floating carnival with all those colors, but it is indeed a nice change. I fear she will probably have the black stern, although ships of the period were far more brightly painted than people think! Plus when i have textured her she will be toned down a lot!

Tomms123 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah the black side and the red back looks like the way to go in my opinion Nice work Ragnar as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
