Presenting to Pieter...The Amsterdam (in progress)

i really think that's what a ship should look like. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> but still, that bowsprit through the figure head looks odd. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I have put her in my game now and she is NEVER going out again. I will also never ever release another Build update that doesn't include her. I never expected anything in return for the work I do; I never even asked anything. Except for occasionally saying I'd like to see the Amsterdam in the game. I never expected anyone to actually make her, so a most hearty thanks for Doober and Kazeite for making her!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

I checked the ship out and she's really awesome! The model isn't 100% like the real Amsterdam, but thanks to Kazeite's work, she most certainly is closer than any other model in the game. Combined with Doober's great texturing work, she looks very convincingly like the Amsterdam! Amazing!

One thing I did notice is that the walk file doesn't seem 100% right. When the sails on deck walk up the stairs to the stern, the walk a bit higher, then walk in the air above the deck, then return to the stairs. Bit odd, but not all too important.
