freddykrueger66 192 Posted January 15, 2016 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! 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maturin 6,189 Posted January 16, 2016 The game could certainly use a ketch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malachi 1,025 Posted January 16, 2016 Ah, one of my favourites of the ANM! Good choice and very nice model By the way, how´s your Proserpine coming along? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xoosch 61 Posted January 17, 2016 A swedish ship would be indeed a nice addition to the game. So far we have no Russian Nation but plenty of Russian Ships. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddykrueger66 192 Posted January 18, 2016 UPDATE: Got a lot of work done on this ship and am close to finishing it. I only need to fit windows on the stern and make a hole for the rudder so that's probably something I'll finish tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mighty_Alex 154 Posted January 18, 2016 Amazing, one of my favourite types of vessel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddykrueger66 192 Posted January 18, 2016 thnx, well yeah it should be done by tonight but it's not guaranteed that I start working on a new ship right away, got a lot of 3d modeling to do for school too hehe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spazza (Jon Von Hellsing) 3 Posted February 2, 2016 Stunning work! Truly amazing! The devs should hire you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Mouse 285 Posted March 12, 2016 Nice work, Freddy! Could you give me a few pointers on how to make a ship 'dev-ready'? Even though it may not be the most desirable ship, I'd like to finish my yacht, so I could maybe move on to a bigger and more desirable ship. I work in Blender though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OTMatt 317 Posted March 13, 2016 thnx, here is proserpine, she's done and sent to the devs Love the little shed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Proflooney 1 Posted June 17, 2018 nice my favorite type ship where did you find the information on the masting or the interior? I want to do one in 1/24th scale for r/c but cant seem to find what the proper length was or info on interior or masting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malachi 1,025 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Dimensions for this ketch are 83' length p/p, 22 3/5' breadth moulded. The sail plan for this type of vessel is on plate LXII of the Architectura Navalis Mercatoria, more info on how to calculate mast lengths are to be found in the corresponding treatise by af Chapman (link). One thing to watch out for: a swedish huqvert/ketch would usually have a loose-footed gaff sail on the main mast. The deck lay-out needs to reconstructed by using other, more detailed plans for a contemporary, similiar-sized ketch, like those for the british Speedwell or Cruizer (both 1752, IIRC) or the danish Amager (1759) or Echo (1773).
