you are right on all counts, connie. those tall ships are not called tall ships for nothing - you can see the masts a very long way off. you are right about making it smaller in the scene, but i just put her in and rendered the lot - i was glad i got her imported and wanted to show what it looks like.
i am a ships affectionado, but i have some eye for aestatics too, so in the end it can be changed to whatever we want as long as it still is a clipper and not a dinghy .
