    WIP Centurion

    Can you have the stays and sails be taken out by either of the masts it's attached to? That way the fore and bowsprit would take out the fore and main stays, the main would take out the main and mizzen stays, and the mizzen would only take out the mizzen stays?

    WIP Centurion

    Brilliant, MK! Your findings only back up what I found today when I went through my own reference materials for Centurion. Not one image of her with staysails. Likewise I have a few extremely detailed sailplans from the period between 1719 and 1745 (the majority of the Establishment Era) and...

    WIP Centurion

    Sorry for taking so long to join in this conversation. I have been largely offline since my kids were off school. Centurion was built during a transitional period during which there were many changes to British rigging. The 1760 plans are almost certainly out of place. They were standardized...

    Very tempting, let's see if I can finish 7p by Christmas. :)

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    Maybe make the rope hang down more to make it look more effected by gravity, and more flexible.

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    Post Captain's reference materials are the same as it was done at least back to the mid 1600s. The hole goes roughly at the level of the gun ports, and all references I've seen put them facing straight forward, not diagonal. The rope looks good! I use a pentagonal cross section on all my heavy...

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    In 1728 a frigate was any ship with a continuous gundeck. This included single through three deckers. The classical idea of the true single decked frigate as we think of it today did not come about in the British navy until the capture of the French frigate that became the basis for the design...

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    Ok I see how your bowsprit connects now. It'd be more similar to the second one because this is a single decked frigate. Sorry, I misunderstood your initial question. It would be a pair of bitts with a board between them. Look at my Lyon hoy for an example. The bits might continue up to the...

    WIP Centurion

    The bouys were unwrapped to use potbs' Wood-main.tga because I modelled them after the ones in the anatomy of the ship royal Caroline (like a barrel with ropes tied round it). In the model of Ripon 1735 however, it is wrapped horizontally with tarred rope, then tied in the same manner as royal...

    That's what I thought but didn't want to say without knowing for sure! My first version that I submitted to FLS had all black ropes but they went and retextured it without consulting me, so when I resubmitted it with the finished figurehead I textured it all to use the light ropes they use on...

    Good catch, Hylie! Also a minor historical nitpick that exists because FLS's art department never listens to coloration advice, I believe the anchor bouies and their ropes would have been black.

    Released Frigate "Rossiya", 1728

    The first is more period correct for this ship. She would have been designed along British lines, possibly even by British shipwrights or ones that studied under them. This was before the British started imitating French designs, as in the second one.

    Sorry to interject so late in the conversation, and I hope I do not offend MK by calling this out, but I think it may be necessary for the sake of neurodiversity tolerance. MK has started in the past that he's on the autism spectrum, and that age of sail ships, especially 17th century to mid...

    I don't have any if them, but would especially like whichever one these screenshots are from.

    WIP Centurion

    Wow, coming from potbs as I do, I never realized what a huge difference running rigging makes! It makes her look so much more like a real ship. A couple notes about rigging. No rigging plan for centurion exists that I know of. I used three main sources; the plan for Oxford 1727 by the same...

    Now I just need some finished in game screenies to put up, gonna put the high poly version of the figurehead in my gallery too, I think.

    WIP Centurion

    Not the bowsprit topmast, the flagpole. It's either the ensign or the jack, I always mix them up. They were used at least up to the American revolution, I don't know much about ships after that time.
