18th Century Flagship Contest - Real Money Giveaway To Winner!

Does the ship have a name or a class so that we can look up additional angles? Edit: or a Wikipedia page?

Do you prefer a fully outfitted ship meant for pve or pvp? or a more historical one with multiple decks and such?

Also about how big do you want it? Dimensions preferably.

Only one complete sailing warship design still exists in its original form, and it is a design that matches that ship very well. That is a three-decker first-rate vessel, and if I had to guess I'd say it's probably British, though I can't be certain. If we could see the name, then it could be identified better than that. It is however an earlier three-decker design, because it has the stern "gallery" setup rather than the later, stronger rounded section with stern guns. Also, from the fact that this is not a painting but either an early black-and-white photograph (not likely) or what I believe is called a lithograph, this is in the 1800s, towards the end of sailing ships' usage.
I have a book, "Battleships", by Antony Preston, that covers all this. I love this sort of stuff, btw .
I couldn't tell you any more than that, honestly. I think the main thing is to get the look right - hard to do when the bow isn't visible, but again, there's only one complete design remaining so just find it. All the three-deckers were similar, actually - they all worked from the same limits of technology, so there isn't a ton of difference between, say, a British ship and a French one, though there are noticeable differences, of course.

that would be the UK´s first see lords (had to check that) flagship if i am not mistaken ... the HMS Victory

I'm very sceptical and suspicious about this.

Hm, I think you should be.

This guy also begged me for a copy of my space train design, then released it as his own a bit later.



....

lol?

Claiming credit for something you didn't build is an easy way to piss people off. Including me, and I'm a chill guy.

This should be fun....

HMS Vistory 1:7 scale exact replica

Aw that kinda sucks if the op is just joking :/ I love challenge builds like these.

What if it's a Galleon?

I would prefer a flagship. But I am fine with a gallon. Crashmaster you should proberbly make it so that there is decks and etc... not just a tiny one I mean like almost a complete full size replica. I don't think I meant tiny. But okay.

Five hundred and Sixty Six thousand, Nine hundred and Twenty Eight metres long.

lol ... yeah .. that would be 566.928 m then ... sorry for being german and using proper marks in numbers :P

Um.... The Earth's circumference is 40 million meters. Are you trying to tell me that only 81 of these ships would encircle the Earth? Someone's scale is off.

According to Wikipedia, the gundeck is only 57 m long, so 56k millimeters maybe, but at that scale, who measures in millimeters?

It's a joke. SmilingDemon used a comma instead of a decimal place.
