surprise rigging?

Anyone thought about maybe touching up the rigging of the surprise? i mean she does have quite a few sails missing and looks a bit bare from some angles, would be nice to see her properly outfitted.
 
lots of things would be very nice on her, she looks like someone who had the capability of doing an amazing job on her, kinda quit halfway through the model. she's still pretty nice wich is a testiment to them that even a half finished job looks great, but it is too bad it can't be finished. it makes me regret not having the ability to model. though if ya have to draw stuff in order to be able to model things like that one guy who's making the squid man, then I'd never be able to model >.>

I've been considering the prospect of throwing a professional modeler 20 dollars or so to finish what was started, with a whole lot more detail, like the bermuda sloop, including a walk in cabin and the like.

Your partly right. I built her. She was built 4 years ago. and most people who had the game could not handle highly detailed models due to limits on their hardware. So I had to make compromises I was not happy to make. Merciless Mark should recall that. I had to cut so much out of the model just so it was useable. And doing so created the polygon doubling. Merciless Mark has been adding back in what was removed and doing a great job at it. I still have the original hull mesh based of the draughts. I think its maybe about time to pull it into the drydock and refit her the way she was always meant to be. From stem to stern. thats something Merciless Mark and I have to talk about. I love his improvements and want to keep those but with a fresh hull model. New masts, rigging, It will take some time to outfit it right.
But I will say this. Its been some time since I released the original Surprise. That has given many of you plenty of time to upgrade your hardware. So no crying <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
