This is gorgeous - good work, chrx. I'd like to mount this on a polished wooden base to display on a sideboard as a scale model. I'd like to add a brass plaque with its name and perhaps other details. Please could you provide the URL of the image you used?
Thanks, FayZee, I downloaded the pic a long time ago, so I'm not sure I can find the exact URL: I remember I started the search from Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Public_domain_image_resources and followed some links. If I manage to retrieve the exact address of the web site I'll post it here!
Ecellent! I think you found the very same image I started from :-)
Here are two research tips that I came up with years ago and have used continuously and diligently up to the present: Tip 1: When saving an image, I create a text file (.txt) under the identical name, then paste the URL of the website, the URL of the image, the image caption and any relevant notes into it. The filename I choose for the image often incorporates part of the website URL. Tip 2: When saving a complete website, I add the date into the "saved from" comment. I often save portions of web pages and do the same thing.
This is wonderful. A great learning tool (original 2D image + finished model) for newbies like me. Thanks!
