Product Description
A variation of my huge carrack (formerly called the Iron Hand). This mysterious ship, regarded as either enchanted or a ghost ship for the entirety of its seaworthy existence, first appeared during the height of Skhara's power, popping out of a wicked fog between the Skharan and Minkutian fleets, lingering a few moments before setting the latter on fire. The ship continued to fly the Skharan flag and ravage Minkutian ships and coastal fortresses during the campaign. In later centuries, the ship appeared yet again to serve as the flagship of the Rhunnish Empire. The ship was unique for its era, with a split main course, the upper sail being fixed to the lower yard, and the upper yard itself being raised to hoist the sail. This feature was not seen again until nearly three centuries after the last time the ship was seen, when sailing ships were routinely built with steel hulls. This was understandable because The Cathedral Skhara was absurdly large compared to its contemporaries. As such, it was the most powerful warship in the world for several centuries, originally armed with catapults, archers, fire siphons, and a massive ram, but the ship eventually upgraded to cannons and musketeers.
If the sails on the 1/700 scale model seem a bit thick, that's because I originally uploaded the model in 1/1000 scale, then added the 1/700 option at a later date; normally, I do the opposite.
