Maddog Shipyards Posted February 22, 2021 #1 Posted February 22, 2021 Welcome to my project to digitally recreate the HMS Surprise, as seen in the movie Master and Commander. This vessel was converted from the HMS Rose, a replica frigate drawn from original admiralty plans. I will be hosting the progress updates on my personal site, however all updates and discussion will be posted on this site. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum, as I believe this project is unique from other logs here! Introduction and Project Motivation ccoyle, jchbeiner and BenD 3
Maddog Shipyards Posted February 22, 2021 Author #2 Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Update 1: Lines and Offsets Today we are lofting the table of offsets and starting to create the hull of the ship. Feedback on the site design is appreciate, as its my first time doing something like this! ! Edited February 22, 2021 by Maddog Shipyards BenD and mtaylor 2
Sailor1234567890 Posted February 22, 2021 #3 Posted February 22, 2021 Cool project. I suspect you can expect this log to be moved by the Admins to the CAD section. I'll follow along though. mtaylor 1
Sailor1234567890 Posted February 22, 2021 #4 Posted February 22, 2021 Quick question.... Are you planning to build the ship that was used for the movie, or the actual Surprise which isn't quite exactly the same as the one used in the movie. I think for a start, there aren't enough guns for HMS Rose/Surprise, to be the historical HMS Surprise. mtaylor 1

I am building the ship used for the movie, the 1970 replica, for reasons I listed in my Introduction/Project motivation post! The actual Surprise is indeed significantly different, I may take a whack at it afterwards for comparison jchbeiner and mtaylor 2
Sailor1234567890 Posted February 24, 2021 #6 Posted February 24, 2021 Oh, that would be an interesting comparison to see side by side. mtaylor 1
Martes Posted March 8, 2021 #7 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Thanks for posting her lines! Do you know, if they show the shapes of the frames, or include the plank thickness? Anyway, here is a schematic of her movie configuration I found some time ago - a plan for smaller-scale model used in the movie, actually, but it may be of help recreating the altered Napoleonic style appearance: Edited March 8, 2021 by Martes
