IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    I was going to take a break from the IRTC competition this
summer, but when I saw tha sea as a topic I had to 
do a ship scene which I had been thinking about. 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.
