Now this is cool! I love the old style drawing of it too, reflecting the old style version of high tech.

:-) Per Johansson replies: "Thanks again, John! Very glad to read nice comments! I must admit that my "Albatross" has a lot fewer propellers than described in Vernes novel, where it has over 70. For the moment I try to figure out how to draw "Terror" from his novel "Master of the World". That vehicle is, as You may know, an automobile, a boat, a submarine and an aeroplane, all in one..."

Physics? We don’t need no stinking physics!
You really have succeed in capturing that nineteenth century look. Good work. Where was the background?

:-) Per Johansson replies: "Thank You, Edmond! Happy You like it! The background, in fact, is the lake Mälaren near Stockholm, Sweden. I just altered the horizon a bit..."

:-) Per Johansson replies: "Thank You for commenting on this, Svenja! I hope Your comment is positively meant..."

:-) Per Johansson replies: "Thank You, Vineet! Very glad You like it. Well, I just reread the Jules Vere novel, and I decided to try to draw the "Albatross" after my own imagination."
