Grumman G-44 Widgeon

First test renders. I kind of like the slightly darker first one.

Composing suggestions welcome, but limited to this background. (i.e. angle of the aircraft, light and shadow intensity, etc)

Here's one for those of you who like it big. (I won't mention any names )

Default "depth of field" turned on in Twilight.

Looks good but i think it needs motion blur propellors.

Lovely model. Compositionally I'd go for a lower camera angle (I think your background plate could just about sustain this), and would tilt the aircraft slightly off horizontal, to make it feel a bit more dynamic. Great work

I agree. Working out how to best do those. I have some ideas.

Excellent suggestion.

Suggested composition change. Tweaked lighting. Props coming next.

Looks good. My only thought is that I'd tilt the nose of the plane up just a touch more. See how at the moment the wings and horizontal tail-planes seem to touch? Tilt the nose up a bit and you'll get a bit of blue sky between them, and the model will "read" better. Hope that makes sense. Such a great, clean model!

Good suggestion. I agree. Will do that.

Thanks!
