[WIP] Swedish Privateer 12 guns 3D model (Completed 18 jan 2016)

[freddykrueger66 192]

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!

^{Very nice.}

[Tomms123 284]

Pretty!!!

The game could certainly use a ketch.

[balticsailor 271]

Great work

[OlavDeng2 1,517]

Looks really good, would love to have one of these in the game!

[Malachi 1,025]

Ah, one of my favourites of the ANM! Good choice and very nice model

 

By the way, how´s your Proserpine coming along?

[freddykrueger66 192]

thnx, here is proserpine, she's done and sent to the devs

[Xoosch 61]

A swedish ship would be indeed a nice addition to the game. So far we have no Russian Nation but plenty of Russian Ships.

[Mirones 901]

yacht is swedish and the Frigate ( Cherubin) is based on chapman lines

[ragnar hairy trousers 248]

Looking real nice Freddy.... real nice!!!!

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.

[Mighty_Alex 154]

Amazing, one of my favourite types of vessel.

[Sella 1,176]

Excellent work!It is coming along really nicely.I hope you finish it quick so you can start working on that russian third rate

[freddykrueger66 192]

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.

[maturin 6,190]

Wow!

Just got a better look at it, and that's a fantastic little vessel.

[OlavDeng2 1,517]

Damn she looks good

UPDATE:

She's finished here are the final renders + some close ups

 

[Spazza (Jon Von Hellsing) 3]

Stunning work! Truly amazing! The devs should hire you.

[Wicked Mouse 285]

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

[OTMatt 317]

thnx, here is proserpine, she's done and sent to the devs

 

Love the little shed

[Proflooney 1]

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

[Malachi 1,025]

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).
