Hi guys:
Those of you who have seen my machinimas know of my love for the Royal Navy of the Napoleonic Wars. This week I started building a 44 gun frigate HMS Mithril. I started with a hull made by Fredo6 I got from sketchup, and modified it using iclone. I built the quarterdeck, weather deck, main gundeck, masts and spirit boom. 
(All due for further modification)
Sketchup is awesome, I've been able to download the 24 lber long gun, the 32 lb Carronade, a complete set of sails and even 
the shrouds!
A lot of work to go to "get her ship shape" 
but it's kind of a labor of love. 
The 44 gun frigate 'Mithril'
View from the quarterdeck. The decks need some refining for sure.
Main gun deck. I'll probably use one of these guns as a template for replicating in iclone. These are at 40,000 polys each. YIKE!!! I'm sure I can produce an equivalent gun at a much reduced price. (Poly-wise speaking)
The bow 32 lb carronades. Short range (under 400 yds was considered ideal.)
Stern 101. lots more structure and decoration to attempt here.
Hope you like her.
