Posted July 15, 20204 yr Challenge III Category D A surprising change of wind Here comes the Big Apple, a heavy Galleon armed to help Carno in their war by the MAESTRO Company. The vessel is sailing quite heavily by a good wind which just changed from East to south south-west. Here comes the Golden Dragon, a light Lotii recon Junk, trying to manoeuver correctly in the high waters around the island of El Oleonda. Their strategy was to spy the moves of the Carnite fleet and their allies. Unfortunately for them, the wind suddenly changed to south south-west and the Junk turned its prow to correctly catch a new stream of this changing wind. But too late... Halas for the Lotii Junk ! The Big Apple Galleon caught the wind immediately and managed to reach the usually swift junk at Canon range ! The lotii soldiers prepared themselves for the defense but facing a such big fish is just a desperate move... And the inevitable shock hurt badly the lotii junk leaving it devastated by a single broadside shot ! Here is my Cat D entry ! I finally had time to finish the junk at time... Hope you'll like both of the ships ! Of course the Galleon will be licensed as a Class 6 Galleon by Felipe de la Manzana. More pics in the spoiler : Spoiler

I've made it close to those heavy silver transports galleons we could have seen in spain during the first part of the 16th century. There are still reproductions and copies you could visit in Europe. For example this one :
July 16, 20204 yr Fantastic junk and the big Apple is also very nice. I would only raise the masts a little. But the details are terrificly good.
July 16, 20204 yr Great entry! I love the galleon! And the Lotus ship is very attractive as well--I like the curve of the rail you worked into it. Great job! 4 hours ago, Faladrin said: There are still reproductions and copies you could visit in Europe.

Perhaps I'll have a chance to get on board of it one day ...

July 20, 20204 yr That galleon's looks really nice and is instantly recognizable as a galleon, even for a nautical layman such as myself . It looks really massive! The junk is well-built, too, but I prefer the galleon.
July 22, 20204 yr Both ships are well designed and are very pleasing to my eyes but I think I will vote in favor of the junk! Edited July 22, 20204 yr by blackdeathgr

Arrrr... Which is the best ...
August 4, 20204 yr Fantastic work, @Faladrin, your ships just keep getting better! The rear windows and the hatches of the junk are great, as well as the curved section at the deck and the spinner top! The junk's crew is very appropriate and looks great as well, but I do think that my vote has to go for the galleon - I'm just loving that ship! Prow, to broadside, to stern, to those checkered sections and the green and gold that totally nail the Eslandolan look - fabulous work, mate!
