Alexander Selkirk The Real Robinson Crusoe

THE real Robinson Crusoe will be brought to life on board HMS Gannet at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham, over the half term holiday.
Story sessions on the Victorian sloop will tell the tale of Alexander Selkirk, the castaway on whom the Robinson Crusoe legend was based.
It’s one of a range of activities for children, including a family fun trail, colouring, and a brass rubbing trail.
Visitors can also join a ropery tour, learning how traditional rope is made and how it was used by Nelson’s navy.
The activities take place every day until Sunday, February 24, and are included in the normal admission price.

Looks more like a real photograph that’s been edited with photoshop, not a realistic 3d rendering. Cool/scary nonetheless.

True. I’m not sure whether that post is serious or not.

Now I want to see super-realistic renderings of Girls from Japanese anime. I wonder if they’ll still look cute?
