The Argentum Hawk is my newest and fourth airship, an attempt at straying from the ordinary.
I attempted to leave behind the ordinary wood & wool, balloon airships, and tried to make a more futuristic, different-shaped ship. I ditched the normal bottom slant, and instead curved it more in the upper structure. Instead of using balloons over the ship, I used air propellors on each side, along with engines at the back.
The ship can hold up to 13 crew, and has only two rooms; the kitchen/dininghall/quarters, and the Captain's Quarters. Due to the lack of a normal bottom slant, I had to improvise a lot of the rooms. It is armed with 12 small cannons, which at the moment shoot a variety of blasts including fish and golden apples.
I had a lot of help on this one, borrowing the propellor concept from Block_Fortress's "Arpacana Airship," and also had a lot of help from a guy on the server by the name of InV1s4bl3 - the cannon was his idea, and most of the detail work on it was by him.

Additional Notes
Again I'd like to thank Rova and Lynchyinc, who have inspired me throughout these past few builds, and have gotten me to try airships; a passion which I now enjoy and love.More like this
