Small and doughty, these are the main trading ship to be seen sailing arcane space, and landing at the docks of many worlds. Based on Spelljammer. Made with Bryce, Poser and Rhino3d

The detail work is very impressive Another picture you might want to look at is the one with the pirate cutting down the illithid; I was looking at it the other day and noticed that the tradesman in the background is shaped such that it looks like a fish with a half opened, "V" like mouth (like a gulper-type fish). Just something I thought I'd point out
#3 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 20, 2004 17:32:25	Nightdruid, Thanks ) Edded up rebuilding the Tradesman, and building the light ballista for it. Hehe, I've had enough of the tradesman, egads!! *Shivers at the thought of more conversion work* Working foorm deck plans, and trying to keep the ship more practical for haulage of cargo, I made it greater in height to an extent, especially at the rear, and thus also made it more sea worthy. I built it totally in scale, so the railings are all 3 feet high for example.
#4 nightdruid Apr 20, 2004 17:59:55	As I said, looks good Btw, have you by any chance looked at images of real world ships, such as cogs (a fairly close match to the tradesman)? Maybe that could give you some help
#5 wyvern76 Apr 21, 2004 3:14:09	I particularly like the emblem the tradesmen are displaying; any chance of you posting it as a separate image? Wyvern

#8 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 23, 2004 18:22:17	Wyvern hm, sent it but getting an "emaild delayed" notice from my ISP *puzzled*
#9 zombiegleemax Apr 24, 2004 5:36:50	At the fore of the largest 'tradesman' in your picture, there's a plaque that contains some interesting runic script. What is it, and what does it say?.
#10 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 24, 2004 13:10:40	The plaque is the ship's nampleplate, and IIRC it says GALIANDAR (ship's name) in Thorass, the Forgotten Realms Common alphabet Wyvern76, I uploaded the flag, in gif format so it won't lose quality, to my site. Hope it's of use to you It's doubled because it fits on two sides of the 3d object of the flag. http://www.silverblades-suitcase.com/sj/flag.gif
#11 zombiegleemax Apr 25, 2004 9:14:51	Ah, I had a funny feeling it was Thorass script, I just didn't have any books with me at the time to confirm it. Thanks ;) .
#12 Silverblade_The_Enchanter Apr 25, 2004 11:49:18	Bookwyrm Think I reversed the text accidentally though on that plaque, hehe.
