I'm looking for feedback on this one. I am trying to make all of the 5e Spelljammer ships strictly accurate to their floorplans:
I thought the Lamprey was hard with its 3x19 floorplan.
This spiteful monster is supposed to be 2x18. 2-tile-wide average! 2!!! Widest point is 4x3, and barely that. In the end, the only way to make a face that wasn't 1,000 props was resorting to the Hull windows, which, though they look perfectly fine, puts the wallplan at 6x4 at its widest point. Undesirable. But the floorplan is maintained at a canon 2x18 with 4x3 in the cabin and 2.5ish in the hull. Took 20+ hours of work and I'm still not happy with the pink "glass" wings. I might change it to a proper sail, similar to Hoofster's original Damselfly. The crew quarters (for a crew of 9) don't even have a full 1x3 (!!?!) space to put their bunks in, nor the kitchen, though I crammed in as much as I reasonably could without it being completely unplayable. Ladder hatch to gun deck, and up-and-over stairs between the turnstile mangonel and abdomen cargo are also modelled correctly. Wings were measured to the official art's height and width.
5/8/23 update: Added tubing to ceramic wings to add girth and blue hue as seen in the official version. Adjusted lots of props and ridged slopes to legs, instead of Moorgoth rooftops. Added a ton of gold filigree to the cabin.
5/14/23 update: Made the toes more buglike, instead of 3-toed paws
5/28/23 update: copied the correct code (missing a wingtip from the copypaste on the right side), centered some props on the "face"

incredible. Great work!

Hahaha, thanks Wyvern. Not gonna lie, I feel terrible: I slaved over the thing all weekend, and you're the first person to like it. ?

Oh I wouldn't worry about that, the thing that gets likes around here are medieval style buildings and towns/castles - things that people can bring out at a moment's notice. You made a niche but beautiful ship that I think is one of the more unique builds I've seen!
(I mean, some of my more proud builds I spend 40-60+ hours on and only have like 12 likes LOL)
You also gotta look at the collections your build has been made a part of. Some people just forget to hit like!
