I guess I'm a bit too late with this since you progressed this much already but I actually designed a better solution for the stern than what I had for my previous ships. this is the hull of "La Beatrice" (new version of the Beatrix) (Sorry for the bad quality of the image) This looks really good!

Count Vroskri Posted March 2 Well my mildy unsuccessful frigate-building activities are back, by popular demand. But this time, it's a six midsection frigate. These are my renders if the WIP so far.( First picture is the oldest, last is the newest) Cannons! Some of this is still preliminary, but let me know what you think!

Cousarmy0001 Posted March 2 You're not going to try your hand at a tapered hull? Other than that, I'd say you're off to a pretty good start. The color scheme looks nice, and the guns are well spaced. I would suggest maybe putting some ladders in the sides, but other than this this looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I am going to do a tapered hull, that's next on my to do list.. I am going to perfect that one side before doing the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Count Vroskri Posted March 7 Started a tapered hull, although it looks kind of square. Top view. How's it looking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cousarmy0001 Posted March 7 Definitely an improvement, IMO! I'm interested to see how the finished product looks. Will you be extending the grey part of the hull further aft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kurigan Posted March 8 Why the window frames in side the gun ports? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are only still there because they help with building the sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurigan Posted March 8 Ah, ok. Cool. I figured it might be something structural at first, but then thought "He might know if a feature I don't. Wouldn't be a first. Might as well ask, might learn something..." So I did . My mind was working around, perhaps an iron hoop to start the muzzles to, or some kind of contrived gun sight. Maybe just something you saw on some obscure admiralty plans. Makes as much sense as anything. Any way, looking good so far. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supersick_ Posted March 10 On 3/7/2021 at 7:32 PM, kurigan said: Why the window frames in side the gun ports? Depending on the scale and color way for your gunport stripes, I've found that the windows are good support for the modified plate that's the hinge for the gunport covers. If you build in the 21322 style with slopes giving the hull tumblehome, you would either need to support the modified plates with a longer plate stacked on TOP of the slope, or you would have a cover hinging open without any bottom support. If you do as I described with a plate on top of the tumblehome slope, most likely your gunports will be too high and your stripe/slope/tumblehome too low. Another trick the window allows is you can alter the height of your ports independently of the tumblehome, so you can "bury" the modified plate offset "inside" the sloped bricks and the covers won't be hinged so far outboard of your hull sides. Anyway... I'm a fan of that technique when used correctly. Nice WIP @Count Vroskri, interested to see more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
