Beautifull job!
great pic , saw that docu on science channel.
Top job! I saw a recreation of this battle on TV and you have caught it brilliantly!
Well done!
Nice render, Sack'. Looks more accurate than others. Don't forget to add hills of the opposite shore, since this battle was fought in an enclosed bay. And there would be a little more smoke from the guns, I should think. Nice touch adding one of the Union frigates in the distance. The USS Minnesota? (the USS Congress and USS Cumberland were already sunk by the time of this battle) Good Job!
All round great job!
Excellent Job!
Excellent job, but as stated above, there should be more smoke about. From the stacks of the ship as well as the guns.
Wow!!! Cool render, Tom!!! Love the smoke and fire amongst all else!!! v
