June Art Contest - 137th Gebirg

[137th Gebirg]

Did this a while ago (2002), but there is certainly a contrast of the old and new here and I felt it would be appropriate. I could post a bigger version if anyone wants to see it.

February 13, 2392. The Akira-class U.S.S. Glen Coe (NCC-1692-D) returns to her namesake as she pays her respects during the 700th Anniversary of the Massacre in Glen Coe, Scotland.

Sorry about the silly MIDI music.

This was the original model photograph that I photoshopped - old StarCraft resin kit in the "sacred" 1:1400 scale - unpainted:

Ooh, love the photoshop work on that Akira! I had thought it was a fully-textured 3D model at first.

Thanks much! Nope, just resin held together with crazy glue. I put it together many years ago and it still hasn't been painted, but I love the Akira design and I was inspired when I visited Scotland a few years back.

It's gorgeous, but I believe the standard contest principle is the image needs to be made this month...

Whoops...didn't know about that little stipulation. I am at the judges' mercy I guess.
