hobbes5a Posted August 23, 2012 This is the Main Section There will four of these. This is the bow I hope you like it From my point of view, I think the stern is a little too edgy(hope you get what I mean). You could use some curve pieces on that. Secondly, there are these strange flaps sticking out under the gunports, I think you could rework on those too. But overall its OK, keep it up!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matteo1130 Posted August 23, 2012 uhm.. i think the gunports are too near each other. i've seen good looking gunports at 4 studs even on prefab hulls, so on a brickbuilt hull 2 studs are too near. BTW yours is a pretty nice (and ambitious) project, try to consider some 3x3 studs brickbuilt gunports :) keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlieboy Posted August 23, 2012 This is going to be huge! I'm very impressed with what I can see so far, however the first picture isn't working for me, I just have a little red x? Anyhoo good luck with the finished design, are you intending to actually build it with bricks or keep it as LDD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horry Posted August 23, 2012 Very interesting project, I hope your computer can handling the rendering If you're going for accuracy, I'd suggest moving the gunports so that they are staggered. if a ship-of-the-line would use gundecks where all gunports would be placed in straight lines, the recoil of a broadside would rupture the ship's hull and possibly even the rips. I'd also think about a bit more curve in your stern gallery (a lession that I had to teach myself as well when building my first ship) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
