Both ships in the scene are different versions of the Flying cloud. I first read about the Flying Cloud as a youngster many years ago. I have been working of and on a model the Flying Cloud ,which I built from scratch, for over 20 years. I went aboard large sailboat for the first time in late July when the tall ships arrived where I finally got to see some of the items that I designed using a ship model book of the Sovereign of the Seas and other books containing information and pictures of the Flying Cloud. I enjoyed being at sea when I was in the navy, but working aboard a sailing ship looks like a lot more fun and also a lot more work. I would like to see a replica of one of the older clipper ships like the Sovereign of The Seas which I beleive is docked somewhere in England. I plan to perfect the portions of the ship that are hidden so that I can put it in a glass display case. It shouldn't take me over 20 years like my real model has. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The image was created entirely with POV 3.1. Modeling the ship was very time consuming on my 166 which I used for the first month. With my 733 I would have had more time to work on the ocean. I tried several different approaches to the ocean, but ended up with the original one. I will continue to work on oceans to get a greener tone. I used adobe photoshop to convert the image to JPEG. The lines on the sails were made to the match the shape of the sails by using the difference between the sails and two boxes with a narrow space between them.
