Skeids or Dragonboats were the biggest ships of the Vikings in the 8th and 9th century. They were Vessels of 50m length and some are told to have been even bigger. They were the ships of kings and were named after the carved figurines of dragons and horses and other animals on the stevens.
This replica is one of it's kind for me. The anmount of details is on a completely new level for me, especially the complete rigg except for all ropes required to operate the sails and the hull being built out of individual planks to have those overlapping planks. The longboats of that time were actually build that way because there was no other way of sealing the gaps between the planks.
This replica is also special because it introduces fully operatable sails. The more throttle you give, the more does the sail unfold and you can turn it into the non-existing wind with VTOL. Topspeed is not fast but more or less realistic (keep in mind, that this is bigger than 1:1 Scale). You also get a camera of the lookout. Additionally I have never spent even remotely as much time on a creation as I have on this.

Very cool!
@WahrscheinlichIch kann man den drachenkopf auch abnehmen? beim original war das so. das war nur für die wirklich wertvollen boote.
@WahrscheinlichIch gestern glaube ich ^^ und danke
@Devilsfish Danke ^^
Wann bist denn du gold geworden? herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Nice :)
@WahrscheinlichIch Das ist schon verständlicher^^
@BirdOfSteel Klampnägel funktionieren, wie normale Klampen. Man belegt daran Seile. Taljenblöcke sind einfach nur die Blöcke von Flaschenzügen.
@WahrscheinlichIch ich weis nicht mal was das auf deutsch sein könnte XD
@BirdOfSteel Ich hätte übrigens gerne noch länger in der Beschreibung gefachsimpelt, wenn ich wüsste, was Klampnägel, Taljenblöcke etc auf englisch heißen...
@BirdOfSteel Deine erste Frage hab ich in meiner Biographie in den FAQ beantwortet xD
@BirdOfSteel Allein an den Schilden habe ich heute den ganzen Tag gesessen... Insgesamt arbeite ich seit Mittwoch dran. Musst dabei aber auch bedenken, dass ich Ferien habe und damit den ganzen Tag frei ^^
was ist bei dir kaputt?!?!? Wie kommt man auf sowas ich will nicht wissen wie lange du daran gesessen hast ich weis nicht was ich sagen sollL O.O//"
Garsh...
Well, if it can handle getting it into the editor then I know what to get rid of...
Good
@Teus Thank you very much!
@WahrscheinlichIch wow. Favorited this so I remember to download it
This is insane! Really awesome!
@SteadfastContracting Most of the parts are in the shields (about 400), in the stevens (150 each) and the sail mechanisms (400)
@jamesPLANESii he is higher in points than me
How did Jhondfg Spotlight it then? @WahrscheinlichIch
@Treadmill103 thanks! Not surprising though...
@jamesPLANESii You can only spotlight lower users...
@Johndfg it works marvellously, I even found a way to fix the speedboat behaviour of the bow coming out of the water ^^
Where is the "Spotlight" button? It's not coming up for me! 😭
This is amazing! Sadly, it's too many parts for even my desktop to run smooth enough to play.
