If things had worked out for the better, we might have been treated to simiilar views. A very poor substitute for the real thing admittedly, but STS-133 views in model form (the first batch).

Sweet, Keith!  Great job on the complex.  The HTV just jumps out at you.

When I do get re-started on my ISS-Shuttle project (which I started but then stopped as I ran into setbacks) I doubt I'd be able to make it as realistic but I'd like to try.

Cool!

Quick housekeeping on the thread title, references, as this has pre-empted what we're working on for another story (STS-134, with some STS-133 photoshop rather than artistic).

Very, very nice work of course!

Thanks very much everyone and to Chris for reorganising to a better thread. Much appreciated.

One I've just this minute finished. Two or three more will complete it.

Please tell us about the software you used to produce these stunning images.

These images are astounding--astoundingly good-looking. I love the angles, and the model itself is an amazing piece of work. Definitely going into my desktop rotation.

Amazing!

Is this the native resolution you made them in, or will you release them in a higher res?

Thanks!

I love the use of the unreleased stock photo footage from STS-133 on L2, where it was used to create actual photos of a flyabout, but these are fantastic too.

Great work.

I love the orbiter shadow in the first image! Nice work.

[JosephB]

Beautiful work!

[Space Pete]

Oh. My. Word.

Absolutely stunning. Thanks!

[Pheogh]

These are amazing!! Are these photographs of physical models?
