Wow, that's one of the best MOC ships I have seen for a long time!
If this was a real Lego set, I would immediatly go buy it.
The colors are great, the sails look very good.
The whaleboats are very original (I hadn't seen this been done before).
While reading about how you made this ship, I decided to put a viking longboat on my x-mas list (I still had to suggest a gift to my mother :-)).
The overall look of the ship is just perfect!
Mr. Phes, Isn't this something for the eurobricks headlines?
