What is this ship?

Anyone know what this ship is?

It's a really nice little ship and I like it, but I don't think we should use it in CMV3.2 unless someone fixes the rear gallery texture. It's all messed up. The other thing that bothers me about it is that copper bottoms were first introduced on the HMS Alarm in 1761. This ship's pattern looks like it was built between 1690-1725. I'd like to see the copper bottom texture go away.

That is an interesting ship, mind you I think she would look better if she was lower in the waterline. Maybe she is copper bottom prototype (non-historical). Do we know what king of vessel HMS Alarm was? This could be someones take on her.

Here is her sister ship.

From the back it look the same. Its a corvette right if its so then it from a Russian mod

The way I see it as someone has used the Corvette as the basis. Added a new deck with Galion. Looks like the Corvette AoPCT because there the copper plates were indegriert as armor.

I thought the exact same thing Pgargon. That's definately the AOP corvette being used as the base model.

A flat white texture in place of the sheathing and some nice looking gallery windows added, this could be a neat little model. It has a Russian pattern appearance to me typical of the ships built during Peter the Great's reign.

BTW one of the folders I'm adding for the modelers is Russian ships. I actually found good plans for a couple really pretty 17th cent Russian ships.

That ships looks so familar but i just can't think which ship it is. The stern reminds me of 2 ships while the imagies from the sides look like another ship, the sails are different aswell. I will have to look through the ships now to find out which ship that is otherwise it will bug me all day. Normally i can tell you what ship it is within seconds of seeing the picture but this one has me puzzled.

She's the new Frigate Craiggo added. She's now known as the Heavy Frigate in CMV3.2.

Just fixed the waterline, what do you think?

The gallery texture isn't screwed up on the one you're showing. Where did you get it? We need to use it's texture file.

@ Luke & Craiggo, Water line looks much better now brother. It hides the copper sheathing now. I would honestly like to call her "Scout frigate" or "Baltic Frigate" instead of Heavy Frigate, or something like that because she's kind of a small ship. I think of a big 44 like Contitution or one of the early Dutch two decker frigates of 50+ guns as a Heavy frigate.

Yellodog,
