Fantastic work! I'm sorry to hear that about the texture. I don't agree with erasing history. We should remember and learn from history, not hide it.

Thanks Starship - was going to use a jpeg on a plane and set up a full scene but changed my mind after loading the Emile.

A splendid image, my friend! Nice blending of subject matter! Very well imagined and realized! Bravo!

Thanks radar!

looks like some part of my old neck of the woods in Kensington in London, saw a spit fly over during the BB remembrance day, very memorable. Agree with Starship, too much nanny-state fiddling going on, need to know in order not to repeat...., super image btw, like the prop fuzziness

Thanks Paul - there's nothing like the sound of a Merlin though the Allison and DB601s were close. Spit was almost to pretty to fight. A huge leap over the Hurry. Curious that nobody's done a good Spit model for DAZ or Poser. There are some very detailed models available on other sites but they are expensive and need to be imported, tweaked, etc. Don't think the woke-a-doddles will squawk about RAF roundels - at least for awhile.

I like the image. My husband is a fan of classic aircraft so I wind up spending some time at airshows and museums... time well spent according to him. Actually, I kind of enjoy it.

Thanks Molly - used to go to a bunch myself. Way back in the day my father got the bug to restore an F4U Corsair. I found an F4U-4 candidate in Arizona a few numbers off one he flew but adding up the costs put an abrupt end to the idea....

Hi,

Just wanted to say, that there is a gorgeous Spitfire Vb made by Bazze as freebie. If you go to the site of Bazze (www.colacola.se), you will find it. Now the download doesn't work anymore, but copy the URL of the page, containing the Spitfire download link and search for it in the "Wayback-Machine ("archive.org/web/") and look for a site snapshot, that still contains the download (to make it short: "web.archive.org/web/20191028163310/" still contains the download).

Another great resource is shareCG where a sadly already passed member (Neiwill) posted a LOT of interesting WWII planes all ready for Poser... I used one of them (one of the most beautiful and not very known british fighters - In my opinion more beautiful than the ever mentioned Spitfire ) see here: "www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/westland-whirlwind-mk-i/2925781/"

Good luck and have fun with Neiwills planes

Thanks FurNose - I'll look into it. Whirlwind was pretty radical - twin engine bubble canopy with 4 20mm and lots of ammunition. Used a lot in low level Rhubarbs if I recall on account of the Peregrine engine performing poorly at high altitude. Wonder if any Peregrines are still running....

Bad memories for Londoners...at least for the older ones....I too used this HDRI ; you can make it look sharper in Photoshop before using it in DS.

Thanks gaius - don't have photoshop loaded. Did sharpen it a little in Windows which helped a little...

This new graphic looks fantastic as always, as do all the others, unfortunately I can't manage to comment on them all and hope for your understanding!

Understood - hope you're back for a bit...

Excellent

Thanks Anita!

Amazingly realistic looking render fantastic work

Thanks 1borg - was pretty quick to set up.

WOW!!! Fantastic image!!! 😃👍

Thanks Nooby - was pretty straightforward. getting scales and distances was the longest part.

Super scène ! Profitez de voir votre travail!

Thanks RG - was pretty straightforward and fun!

That is a few yards from where I live! Strange to see Notting Hill in the galleries, it doesn't happen often.

Censored history is dangerous, so I am with you there.
