Description
Heeling as she zigs (or is it zags) The USS South Carolina, BB26 feels the might of the Atlantic Ocean in moderate swells. On convoy duty she and her sister USS Michigan, BB27 protect the lifleline to Europe in the "war to end all wars".
Models done in Wings.
The rest of the stuff is pure vue with some help from the "Sea View" collection.
Note: a commentary on these great "beasts" They have for the most part departed this world for one found only in the memories of a few or in a few pictures,plans and art. It was a different world they born into. I try to model them as they were. They weren't pretty but they had a beauty all their own.
Comment always welcome

Excellent image and great work on the ships!
Awesome models Osper!!
Great render (and model)!
Polish language * Świetna praca Doskonała kompozycja barw delikatności i smaku. Gratuluję. Great job Excellent composition of colors tenderness and flavor. Congratulations.
Beautiful work. And those cage masts were unstable even in calm seas. Getting up into them one was exposed to the weather and the swinging and twisting. Crazy, but light weight construction. Yes, oldies, but goodies these ships were. For more technical and design information, check out- "U.S. Battleships: An Illustrated Design History" by Norman Friedman, Naval Institute Press, 1985 (ISBN: 0-87021-715-1).
A wonderful brooding atmosphere - nice work.

The Sea View collection? Need to check that out. Great pic and excellent ocean texture. You can just envision the bow slamming into the waves, spray going everywhere. Those were massive brutes of ships.
This is really a astonishing scene, so real...PERFECT! 10+
Awesome modeling and scene ... really superb work.
Impressive ocean scene. Nice render!
Stellar creativity and artwork! Totally fantastic scene! A most masterful work of art! Very well done!
I can really feel the roll of the swells, very well done ! I'm guessing the wire frame looking smoke stack things are actually part of the radar system ? Kool stuff & ~Cheers~
Oh Excellent work my friend... awesome lighting! :)
What a fabulous dramatic scene, it is as if I am in a boat heading for the one in the scene!! Excellent reality, very well done indeed! Sorry if your cats are playing up to come on adventures with mine, maybe one day they could go along to the enchanted lands with them :o) hugs Jane xx
