Default WIP: USS Monitor

USS Monitor (1862) being modelled with AC3D. I still have to add details but the ship is already quite recognizable.

Well, it's done ,folks. Here you are.
In Egypt, they are using donkeys to show the scale of objects. Here, I'm using myself (not much smarter than a donkey) and so the guy in front of the turret is me. For the record, I'm five feet and eleven inches high.
I'm posting a video on my site. As soon as it's done, I'll let you know.
Cheers,
Thierry

Done also, folks.
If you want to have a look at the video, the procedure is as follows:
- Visit my site at www.tvi-sarl.com.
- Click on the Anglo-American flag in the upper frame to get to the English-speaking part of the site.
- Click on the "Downloads" link in the left frame.
That's it!

Thank you for your comment.
This is a model of a real ship, USS "Monitor", launched in 1862. She was the first armored ship to have her heavy guns mounted in a turret and to use them in battle. It was at Hampton Roads in 1862, a few weks after her launch, and her opponent was the CSS "Virginia", also known as "Merrimac".

It is, and now I have solved my transparency problem; I just needed a .TGA image with an alpha layer.
