Modeled and rendered, yes.
I rendered it in such a way to simulate it being a small model, but it doesn't have the detail to pull it off quite so well.

Thanks TF

Yeah it definitely looks like a small model. Nice work.

Maybe a bit less blur (DOF?) would be good.

Last one, at least for a while.
How those Flower classes made it across the Atlantic, I will never know.

I like this one because it shows (IMO) just how lonely and dangerous it was out there in the Atlantic .

Where can I purchase the painting (reprint) ?

EDIT: Where are those waves when I play?

Actually Flowers were safer in those conditions that most destroyers. Nicholas Monsarrat said they would "roll on wet grass", but the short tubby design meant that they would ride up and down the swells that larger, sleeker ships would plow through.

According to this site, they never lost a single sailor due to heavy seas.

I don't know of any Flower encountering the type of typhoon that sank three American destroyers http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq102-4.htm , so I can't say how they would have fared in that weather, but they were still good wet-weather ships despite appearances to the contrary. By the way, that particular storm was the basis for the incident in Herman Wouk's book The Caine Mutiny, and the film of the same name.
