Ok this is my first big boat. Not as good as some of those out here, struggled to give it personality tbh, but it fits with the Asian theme for my Tatsuyama project, see http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/wip-tatsuyama--empire-of-the-dragon-mountain/.
Tell me what you think.
It's based on the massive junk sailed by Zheng He's (China's most famous explorer).
A Treasure ship (Chinese: å®è¹; pinyin: bÇochuán) is the name for a type of large wooden vessel commanded by the Chinese admiral Zheng He on seven voyages in the early 15th century in Ming Dynasty. Scholars disagree about the factual accuracy and correct interpretation of accounts of the treasure ships.
The purported dimensions of these ships at 137 m (450 ft) long and 55 m (180 ft wide) are at least twice as long as the largest European ships at the end of the sixteenth century and 40% longer and 65% wider than the largest wooden ships known to have been built at any time anywhere else.
