Orthanc's Creation Thread

[Orthanc]

Yes, that's right, just put the gun down, look we even have chocolate, just back, away, from, the gun.



Anywho, real point of this is to say the Carrack is in the yards! Time for some unwieldy medieval naval architecture!


Got the hull down, just needs some details (including cannons) before moving to the masts.

This unit was especially appropriate for me to start on June 20th, being the Portuguese Unique Unit, and the 20th is my mother's birthday, and she was born in Portugal.

Cool, Hope your mom have a wonderful birthday.


I got some friends from Portugal(meet then online), my mom went to visit then a fill times. I hope one day I get the time to go there too.


I made a cake for you but the site did not want to show

I had made before in other sites, and it worked with either a [*pre][/pre], or the

tag, but here none worked, I try PHP, it come out half right, but not good .

Ok the sun is coming up, and I did not go to bed yet, so I will leave it with a screen from the other site.

 

[Stormrage]

Woah.. thats a cool cake And a cool ship you`re makin` Orthanc!

 

[Orthanc]

Orthanc likey cake!

Again, just checking the mast sizing before I put the sails and rigging up. Made a preview without the shipyard, cause as you can see in the one with it, the masts are nearly the same color and so become cloaking masts :

the speed at which you crank out these incredible boats is astounding...great looking ship that one...

 

[Virote_Considon]

[Orthanc]

1. Happy belated Birthday!
2. Thats is an awesome cake!
3. That is a very nice ship! You're ships are very detailed and realistic, nice job.

Is this the one you made for me? If so, is it any away to have the red cross in the sails?

Spoiler :

If you can't, its ok, I'm grateful enough that you toke the time to make the ship.

 

[Stormrage]

Its beautiful, Orthanc! Just... beautiful

The Asian Dragon is up next!

 

[Orthanc]

Thanks Stormy. cometflash, take your pick of sail design arrangements:

Unfortunately the cross warps when applied to the Mizzen sail (the aft-most sail... the triangle thingy at the back ) So I avoided putting it there. I might be able to fix that, but it'll take some tinkering.

EDIT: Sorry, the boat doesn't have an option that includes hydraulics.

 

[Stormrage]

the triangle thingy at the back

Thanks for the explanation!

 

[cometflash]

The one in the top left, the one in the top left

so much for this.

 

[Stormrage]

Will you release both versions?

 

[HunterAnubis]

hmmm put the cros on all sails

 

[cometflash]

That would be the best^^. But then I would be asking to much for Orthanc, and I know he have other requests.

 

[Orthanc]

Cross on all sails (except the mizzen as explained) isn't too much work:

Not sure yet Stormy, I may release a version with stripes too. Anywho, see how this 'all cross' version looks, I'll be animating soon.

 

[Spacer One]

Wow...thats very nice looking indeed...will both versions be released?

Thats fantastic, I'm in love with the ship(hehe), and you didn't even finish yet.

 

[HunterAnubis]

you sure there cant be a small cross on the last sail? I bet you could figure it how to put it there we all know your the master of this shipyard
