Description
A Beechcraft Staggerwing taxis slowly down the runway, before turning around to face the wind.
I wanted to get a sense of a late 1930 small airport, plus show off Digimation's wonderful and very reasonably priced Beechcraft G17S Staggerwing model. The G17S is one of my most favorite aircraft. If I was going to own a classic airplane it would be my choice. (In your dreams, Miller!) heh! The picture also shows another wonderful aircraft model from Renderosity; arlivre's "Classic Monoplane" which I intend to show off in a later render. You can get them here:
Staggerwing: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=82316&vendor=645314 (Cost: $9.99)
Monoplane: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=81235&keyword=Classic+Monoplane (Cost: $8.00).
I'll say this much; you are not going to find a more detailed model at such a low price anywhere else. Period!
Having said all that, though, I am less than happy with the way the render looks. It is in the lighting. The Staggerwing looks too dark in some places and too bright in some others. The gasoline truck looks too washed out as well. Tried all sorts of lighting arrangements and this was the best I could manage. Ah well.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Always appreciate that as well as the comments and encouragements.
I wish you all a wonderful and blessed coming year.
Jeremy

Nice scene anyway. Can't help with the lighting; still mean to learn Vue; maybe next year... Happy New Year!!
Great image Jeremy, 1930's works for me.They look like a couple of fine models ( I like the old motor vehicles too).I look forward to your presentation of the monoplane. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Great composition! Happy New Year to you too and your family! :)
Wonderful Old Time Image Jeremy.. Happy New Year!!!
Looks very good to me. You could always blame the lighting issues on the clouds in your sky
Love the plane. Cool scene!
Beautiful scene. I looks like the older part of a small town airport not far from where I grew up.
The light is very close to sunlight, I think. Great job!
Happy New Year Jeremy and a prosperous 2011!
beautiful work Jeremy!
Fly towards new months.. new horizons.. saw your mail.. so can only say make it a good year full of health and creativity
I cant help but salivate every time I see a clasic radial engine beauty. Unfortunately I remember seeing soo many real ones decades ago. How I wish I could get a pilots license, even tho I cant even drive anymore. Keep up the great work
