Here's my take on Rabbit, White's excellent model.
I wanted to make this into a Waka as the Maori UU. I knew I couldn't change the model to reflect the unique iwi carvings, nor could I extend the hull of the boat.
Instead, I re-patterned the alpha channel to look like a waka carving, making it take on the colour of the civ. I've also added a Maori symbol on the paddle, and painstakingly added another waka pattern on the oar handles, which cannot be seen whatsoever.
The Maori will be included in CIV Gold 3.
