So, another build's been finished. Of coarse, this was one of my smaller projects.
For the next addition to the Viking Invasion, I've build a classic depiction of a Viking Longship. In the late 8th through early 11th centuries, the Vikings would use ships like these to raid coastlines, transport soldiers and goods, and travel long distances. I'd noticed that the Blockland Community had yet to produce one of these ships, so I took up the duty! Here's the result:I present to you, the
Viking Longship!Be prepared to see several pictures of the same build from different angles. -First, let's start with 3 basic vieww from the front and back of the ship. From here, you see the colorful shields the crew of warriors decorated the port and starboard sides of the ship with. You also see the red and white sail. For medieval villagers in early Europe, seeing these sails on the horizon was a sign of approaching death, torture, and ultimately, doom for the village they lived in.
-These two shots feature the intimidating, carved wood dragon heads on the bow and stern of the ship. These frightening dragon heads were meant to protect the crew from the sea monsters from Norse Mythology, and to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies.
-This image is a view from the stern of the ship's deck, looking toward the bow, and across the primitive benches for rowers to sit while propelling this seaworthy ship.
-Here's full view of the ship outside of the water it sails in. You can see the beautiful
(and annoying and difficult as hell to make) curvature of the ship's ends.
-Last, but definitely not least, a beautiful, ominous view of the ship in a dangerous ocean storm.
Why no oars, you ask? You try making perfectly slanted, perfectly sized oars in this game without making them look too huge or too choppy. :( Well, thank you all for bothering to read another one of my unnecessarily detailed threads. If you wish, please rate this build on a scale of #/10. If you have any advice on how to improve this build, please post it!
Thanks again!
