Description

After several weeks at sea a "ship of the line" approaches it's destination. In a light breeze the topmen prepare to haul in the sails whilst on deck the anchor is made ready for dropping. Models by Taschen (except Victory of course). figures in poser. Some post work in photoshop. Thanks for looking.

I think you are the first to accually man your model. As good as some images have been of this model that have been posted here, yours is the first that has crewmmembers seen. One small observation: the yardarm that has the sailors mannng their stations for sail handling...you forgot to take off the extra set of sails. If you look closely, you can see that one set is furled up directly under the sailors. The other sail is unfurled and set. The creator of this model, Hankster, created 3 sets of sails and flags to be used when showing different weather conditions. Not all the sails and flags need to be rendered out at once. Oh, one other observation: the water is flat, which would show there was very little or no wind. You have shown the ship with billowing, full sails. If there is no wind, the sails would be limp and/or flapping in the light airs. But Ninj, these are just small details of reality that stand out for me. This is a good image, it tells a story and anticipates an action. I see a 3 decker man-of-war arriving in Gibralter, perhaps carrying the new admiral to his new command in the Mediterrenean, or just a ship come to join the fleet...
