Nice job TOM your doin' great ! Now if I can nudge you a little towards the Steam era,

I've already been working on these. 3-in-1. "EDIT: They are just not done yet.
" TBH, I can't stand G-Warehouse models. They are an utter pain to work with. Takes longer than most anything else.The Guardian said:
GeneralMatt got some great Ironclads (Iron-Steam frigates) version in Civ4. You seam to handle them with other skill.
If it´s version of Esemeralda, Warrior types I´m sure you can knock some of GeneralMt great models from Civ4 into great Civ3 versions.

I thought he was referring to different Warrior ship (since there are a bunch with same name) than the one Wyrmshadow made. Maybe not Gaurdian, which Warrior are you referring to? Here is the wiki list of HMS Warriors.

Just a question: Are these CivPedia entries for a certain mod? Wikipedia usually has more info, so I was wondering why there are only the technical stats in it.

AoI entries are more substantive than that, old boy

I do not prevent this, the entries to his taste (assumed requirement).

Ok... I guess these are stats for AOI, then.

Kongō Class Battlecruiser (1914)
Civ Colors have been added. Animations by me. Credits also to Ares de Borg. Thanks to everyone who gave information on the 1914 appearance and structure of the battlecruiser which helped me get it finished properly.
EDIT: Is according to the initial 1914 appearance (at civ scale at least).

This one
If you can, remove the flag or make it civ generic coloring.
I don't understand why no one has done this one yet
HMS Victory - Lord Nelson's Flag Ship
Here's another version
And of course the Frigate Jylland in Ebeltoft
I also wouldn't mind seeing one of these
The ship is entirely given over to the business of launch ramps and rocket stands. Given that rockets are horribly inaccurate, the most effective way of using them is to fire a great many at a single target all at once. Such a peppering with rockets, some of which may still be burning, can cause a target to catch fire or even explode. There is also a risk of explosion aboard the rocket ship and, because of this inherent danger, most navies see little point in using good quality hulls to mount rockets. There is little need to reinforce the fabric of the ship, because the rockets do not create much recoil, but rigging chains (not ropes) and wetted sails are standard to reduce the risk of fire.
And/or one of these
All sailing ships rely on having their masts and sails in positions that give them a balanced and evenly weighted push from the wind. Bomb ketches are not handy sailing vessels, thanks to their compromised rigging and the weight of the mortar and its mounting. The design needs to keep the forward portion of the ship clear for firing the mortar.
The strength of a bomb is in its mortar. This can throw an explosive shell high into the air to plunge down on enemies. The fact that the shell is explosive rather than solid adds to its deadly qualities: men and structures are equally shredded by the arrival of a shell.
Duty aboard a “bomb” was not an enviable posting, and there was a good reason why bomb ketches were named after volcanoes, fire-gods or fearsome ideas. They had a nasty tendency to explode, thanks to the shells that they carried; fire aboard a mortar was far more dangerous than aboard any other type of sailing ship, as the ammunition as well as the propellant powder could go up! Despite this, all navies found them a useful ship to have, and the original French design was soon copied by all the sea-going European powers.
Both of these would require some interesting animations I think.
Unfortunately I couldn't locate a model for either of these so you can take your time with these two.
BTW I am referring to the HMS Warrior Launched in 1860 and currently in Portsmouth as a museum.

Wyrmshadow has done this one back long time ago. I thought you meant one of the others. His is excellent, better than I could pull off.
It's the one in the middle row, 2nd to the right.
I'll look at finding models, or using ones you have posted to do some of the others.
If you need multiple sizes of the HMS Warrior, you can ask Wyrmshadow if he is okay with it. Resizes are pretty easy if you batch resize in a program after exporting individual frames with Flicster (to get best results).

This has the newest version.

And I cant get Tom a MUCH better HMS Victory model, but it's without sails.

Perhaps you could check the model. I believe it has a much different appearance than Wyrm's excellent contribution. There were indeed several Warriors launched between 1781 and 1914.
Any chance of getting any of the others I suggested? I'm in no hurry, so I am willing to wait.

It is an inferior model. It doesn't even have a bottom.
