Description
This is a model of one of the Royal Australian Navies new Armidale class patrol boats which replaced the older Fremantle class boats (all of which have now been decomissioned).
This particular vessel is the HMAS Hammersley from the TV series "Sea Patrol" the Armidale class will feature in the 2nd series of this popular drama series.
This render was a joint effort between myself and Jason Simpson who is a member of the Roya Australian Navy and helped me tremendously with reference material as well as modeling the hull and superstructure and a lot of work on the masts. I modeled a lot of the little details, the RHIBS and davits, Typhoon cannon and other bits & pieces.
