Thanks for the comments.
The reason for the design was I wanted to have a ship that had the frontal look of a trireme front ramming bow mixed with Asian style(probably Chinese Junk is what I was thinking of at the time) sails. It is heavily armored but probably not as fast as a trireme.
As a whole, I love this ship. The only thing that I would change is eliminating the blue slopes on the side, or at least changing them to a more appropriate color. Still, it doesn't really detract from the model itself, and I'm definitely going to use some of your techniques in the future. Excellent work!
Ya, about those blue slopes, I bought a lot of "castle expander packs" which come with the piece. So I wanted to see if I can use these in different ways that work. I agree about the color, I would prefer a different color then blue. It's just I don't have many other colors besides blue. I didn't like the look at first but I've grown to like it.

Wow, you did a good job on the brick built sails. The design on them sort of looks like a smile.
Looks like the design is the samurai helmet's horn thingie. Very cool indeed.
Exactly what it's suppose to be.
The Hordesman wroteMosae does not sound asian, however, and I think a japanese guy would not even be able to say it.
Well that's interesting. Oh well, I just made it up for my castle realm. Mosae are most of the red samurai figures and the blue ones are either the Blue Dragons clan or Mosae Rebels, which they dispute the Mosae Leader's entitlement to the throne of the clan.

Yep, six entries and I have two more to post. I've been so busy I haven't opened all of my Lego gifts from Christmas.
Well back to photographing.
