Description

Pan Am's Martin M130 Flying Boat "China Clipper" (aka "Sweet Sixteen"), circa. 1930's. I've been fiddling around with Shade again - mostly for practice- and knocked up an antique flying boat for good measure, something out of the ordinary this time. A contemporary of the British "Empire" flying boat, the "China Clipper" and its sisters were responsible for the "mail run" to America's various Pacific territories. Just the thing for some Fedora-wearing skulduggery... Manila Galleons perhaps? Rendered in Poser 6 with a cloud photograph as background. The image was "aged" in photoshop using the nik color Efex Pro 2 plug-in.
