WIP : Lafayette and derivatives
-
Got my hands back on 3ds today, some stuff added…
Rear CIWS 20 mm Phanlax
Oto Melara 76/62 Compact deck gun
Quad Hsiung Feng II/III ASMs launchers
Hsiung Feng II
-
Great job this your also, Corsair! You know, I never realized before that the gatling could be so small if compared to the entire body of the CIWS. The same about the OTO Melara cannon.
Keep on this way, and best regards,
-
Stunning work ! These models are well done !
Once finished it will look incredible !
regards buddy ! -
Thanks guys.
Some progress on sensors & antennae… still many to do. 3D model should be good after this, the landing pad and the two 40 mm Bofors turrets are done. Then, moving on to Lafayette, and mapping.
-
woops…
…and, done ! at least, everything that should be here is here (well, still have to do drive shafts, propellers and rudder, but wanted to show the progress anyways…) .
Converting to French La Fayette ASAP. Then all the other stuff that comes after…

Thanks a lot!

Underwater details added…
And starting conversion to its French cousin Lafayette, starting with the 100 mm, modèle 68 TR gun
Have a nice weekend !
-
Wow, amazing work! What about next project Horizon class?
-
Good, or ‘even better’ instead from time to time!
You’re doing an awesome job, Corsair, I’m tempted to start thinking to some new naval TEs with units struggling against each other…
Keep on straight this way, and best regards,
-
Wow, amazing work! What about next project Horizon class?
You mean the one with these ?
That can be considered… but no rush, I want to fully integrate my Lafayette’s into BMS first.
-
I mean Italian/French Multipurpose Frigates, Aquitaine and Bergamini class!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FREMM_multipurpose_frigate
BTW, just keep up with your stunning project, I’ll follow all of your progresses!
-
Ah, yes, the FREMM.
The Horizon are different (dangerous) beasts, oriented towards surface-to-air roles, also in service in French & Italian navies, with the PAAMS missile system. Both are on my list at some point, but one thing at a time thanks ! -
Not a lot of 3D work this weekend, some stuff on the Lafayette herself, and the MM.40 Block III Exocet missile.
-
Beautiful!
-
Hello,
last days were quite busy so I didn’t progress as expected.
Current state of Lafayette’s superstructure :progression should accelerate soon.
Cheers.
-
hello hello folks,
Lafayette is on its way to the end ! I had to rebuild hulls and adjust superstructure angles for both Kangding & Lafayette, and modifying them on both was a bit touchy.
I also have to buy a new mouse… showing some progress soon. -
Lafayette getting its eyes and weapons : DRBV-15C, naval Crotale CN2, Exocet Block III launchers.
Elements left to do on the mesh :
- 20 mm F2 cannons
- landing pad & hangar
-
Would be cool if visual effects from countermeasure systems could be simulated…. Beautiful model !

Hello folks, little update: all 3D is done, however my PSU died a bit more than three weeks ago. Until replacement, I won’t have any 3dsMax-able computer at hand. I hope to be able to work on the ships during this summer. Anyways I’ll keep you informed ! Cheers.
