Orthanc's Creation Thread

[The Tuna Bomber]

Where do you get the unit models from?

 

[Orthanc]

All the units I create are models I created myself. They may be based off images of other artist's models, but the model I release is my own. You can go back a little in the thread and see a few stages of Rex as I was making the model.

 

[Stormrage]

And you are darn good at it Thanks again for Rex!

Replica made by the Brazilians, homage to Cabral:

This a good picture for a model of the ship:

Best I could get from the sailing:

Thanks in advance.

 

[Orthanc]

Great! That model of the hull-only is very valuable, the Carrack's going to be fun! (As will Ship of the Line before it).

Orthanc I was browsing for you and got this page with tons of pictures of Ships of the Line:

http://images.google.com/imgres?img...res&um=1&start=1&sa=X&oi=images&ct=image&cd=1

check it out!

Heres a classic picture of two ships of the line fighting, an english and a french ship(go figure):

As far as designs go I favor the triple decker Ship of the Line myself.

 

[Orthanc]

Ah, the call of the sea...

Yep, thanks for those Sword_Of_Geddon! Some very nice designs (of course, one might notice aaglo's good ol' USS Constitution in there ), good find!

This reminds me, I need to get my Master and Commander DVD back...

 

[Ares de Borg]

I love the painting of those SOTLs...

 

[Spacer One]

YAY! back to the shipyards!...cant wait to see this with the Orthanc touch

 

[Stormrage]

OMG.. all those cannons.. It could shoot the bajeezus out of.. anything!

 

[Spacer One]

I dont think thats the SOTL...I think the big ones are closer to the Trident...

[edit] I count 17 cannons per row, 3 rows...thats definitely "bajeezus" shooting numbers

 

[HunterAnubis]

one thing is for sure I wouldnt want to be its enemy if I were on the small ship on the left side

 

[Ares de Borg]

I dont think thats the SOTL...I think the big ones are closer to the Trident...

There is no "Trident" - these are historical SOTLs. And they look like this.

 

[Stormrage]

OMG! Lookit the little tiny men!

 

[HunterAnubis]

omg what a tiny worhtless bout
I love pirates games but I dont like these super ships of that time. I like those bit smaler but not to smal (corvets fregats brigas and other ships)
anyone knows a good pirate game? exept Port royale?
I heard about some cool online game but I dont know what its name it should be about having ships and something like that anyone knows what game is it?
PS: its suposed to be free so thats what picked my intrest

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I love the painting of those SOTLs...

Now theres the design Orthanc should base his Ship of the Line after I think...

 

[Spacer One]

There is no "Trident" - these are historical SOTLs. And they look like this.

I stand corrected...I thought the Trident was more of a fictional ship, and that these were also...I thought SoTLs were a bit smaller than the Trident unit...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Notice that Orthanc hasn't responded in awile? I hope hes alright.

Dude, he posted 3 days ago. Probably has an exam or something.
