Description


Waiting to clear up and lots of wind - being able to move on, finally ... Well, i couldn't resist ! I had to set up another scene with this great ship model,the HMS Victory, right away ! ("Victory" model by "the hankster", lifeboat abstracted from the "Golden Hind" model by "Kaol", model James and basic props from Poser, some postwork in PaintShopPro)

Wow! very impressive work here. I love the detailed work on the water around the ship. That detail came out so perfect....makes it look realistic. also the placement and poses of the people is just so perfect. Excellent work!

The detailing is impressive. Especially the people, their positioning, and postures.

Excellent, atmospheric image with this superb model. Well done! Just one question - why are the gun ports open, are they expecting company?!? :-)

You never know - an enemy ship could use the fog to sneak up on you ... there would be no time, to open them first ...

I agree with thundering1 and LadyLisa, the lighting really helps with the scale of this ship.

I'm glad you used figures on the yards. It gives good scale to the ship and shows how large these vessels were. Nice atmosphere.

Lord Wexford...a ship of war during this period (1793-1815), if in an area known to be hostile, such as off the coast of France or in the Mediterranean, if slowed or stopped by fog, would go immediately to General Quarters (battlestations)as a necessary precaution, so the gunports would be open and the guns fully manned. Also, if this were morning, another standing order was that a ship always be at General Quarters as the day began; every man at his action stations, the decks sanded down, the guns loaded and manned. This was again because as the sun came up, a ship or fleet could at any moment be spotted, and was not known to be friend or foe until the proper daily identification signals were exchanged or the ships otherwise recognized each other. Also, this could be a fog in-harbor, usually the only time a ship's gunports were open, for ventilation, other than to give battle at sea. One crit: if the ship is in port and not sailing, she would be at anchor, both anchors of which are still shown catted to the hull. If she were sailing, albeit slowly in the fog, then she should have a few sails set....GSGalaxy, did you visit the site I mentioned? This view does look similarily like the view painted by Geoff Hunt, called, "Victory Sailing in Light Airs" (of which I have a signed litho from the artist, BTW....) Anyway, a good second effort!

FitArtistSF - you seem to be an expert in historical ships. You caught me again and i have to agree, you're right ! I thought, that i watched out for errors, but i totally forgot about the anchors !! Even showing them not lowered into the water - right into the viewers eye. I guess, i have to look over those situations even more carefully. (It's a great 3D model, but the way it's build, it doesn't give me total freedom over each part of the construction, because some areas are grouped in 3DS format and i wasn't able to abstract certain single areas, even if i wanted to - i still try to find a way to separate more parts. Maybe there is a way, but i just don't know yet, because i just started Sept. 2005 with 3D graphics again since a long, long time and there is still alot to figure out again.) And yes, i have viewed those great paintings by Geoff Hunt and the other artists - and you're right, too, the painting you mentioned, inspired me to come up with the above image.

Loved your image. Just a small tip. Cut down on the size a bit. You won't lose anything, but the whole picture will be easier to see. Bigger ain't necessarily better! Fitartist has a point or two, but always remember, he's a mail-order mechanic, not a doer. You never see a picture of his to show us all how to do it. Anybody can read the books, making the image is another game.
