freddykrueger66 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Since there aren't 4th rates yet I decided to model this beautiful spanish ship Some of you might also know it from Potbs where it was a popular pvp ship. Armament: Gundeck : 26 x 18lb Upperdeck : 24 x 12lb Topdeck : 12 x 8lb Just started working on this one but I thought I'd make a post and show the progress like I did with the panteleymon hehe. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Connor Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Looking good. Would recommend adding a few more vertical divisions to the bow (2-3x current), it's needed to give a smooth shape where the hull curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namrewob1 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Looks absolutely amazing! Really shows how rounded the bows were of ships back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 another update, completed everything on the sides, a lot of the detail is gonna go into textures for this one though. Bow needs to be finished and then I can work on the stern, the fun part really happy with the gunports, think I'm gonna do it on the panteleymon aswell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikard Frederiksen Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 That model is really coming along, can see it coming together with the addition of the details. Keep up the good work, it looks superb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Federico de Gravina y N Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Freddy, do you know when this ship that you have choosed, was built? Because there are two ships with the same name but with differents years of construction, and they was built with differents construction system(sorry if isn't the correct word). Good job anyway!!

freddykrueger66 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 hmm not sure actually, can't really find much info on the ship other than this spanish website and potbs wiki http://www.todoababor.es/listado/navio-sanfernando2.htm I check my model against pictures of the one made for potbs so I guess it's that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surcouf Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It's a great job. Very well done. I just have one comment on a historical fact. In France, but I think it's the same in other countries, the vessels with two deck have no gunports on the 2nd deck. Only the first deck. Furthermore, if there be the gunports, it could not be any under the chainwales for two reasons, the first is that we can not completely open the gunport, and the second the gunports are collides with the chain of the shrouds. So this is not possible. What does the historical truth for boats not French? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 yeah I wasn't sure about it either but I was looking at the pavel here http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/6271-second-rate-pavel-in-game-screenies/ and it has gunports on every deck. On the drawings of the san fernando it shows closed gunports all the way to the top. it looks a bit weird indeed with the gunport not completely opened. What do you guys think I should do with it?

I think that the spanish ships had all gunports, but I can't confirmed yet. My personal opinion is Yes please I wantit with all gunports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddykrueger66 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 should I add gunports to the top deck too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Connor Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 British ships had the chains and chainplates specifically positioned to allow gunport lids... But I think Surcouf is right, because you see the chainplates are positioned very low on the San Fernando, some of the lids can only be opened halfway. Looking at other plans, often on Spanish ships the chains are partially across gunport as they are on French ships, so probably Spanish practice was not to have gunports on the upper deck. You could keep the aft 4 gunports but delete the port lids under the chainplates and in the open waist of the ship? Bellona has this arrangement, looks very good.
