Interesting historical topic.
Great scene of early naval aviation! Fantastic!
Nice render love the old plane and landing deck..It hardly seems long enough... Excellent work.. well done!!
Glad they picked up a surplus German ship; a lot of them were scuttled right after the war... Great pic, and great history.
Nice work.
Excellent Bryce scene and render!
Good work!
very cool :-)
Yep! cool scene
Great scene!
An excellent illustration of what was one of aviation's more important technological breakthroughs!
wonderful work here
What a gorgeous work!!! Excellent image, just perfect, well done!
Good one RG
Very nice scene. Great ship models, lighting and textures! Really well done.
Excellent!
This is a nice image...but I think you could have something really nice here if you continue working on the lighting and atmospherics. I often leave my compositions for a while and come back with new eyes... This could be a great scene, and you have the ability to make it so!! hope you will... I'll be watching
great render. Deck is angled down probably to gain speed. A lot of early ship born aircraft were expendable. Once they were launched they could not be recovered and ditched next to the ship after their mission.
Lol, not a contraption i would like to sit in
