Ola Everybody

I`m not a warshipbuilder (I have done a really small aircraft carrier years ago) but I saw this new dio on Dynamic diorama`s
Here are a couple of pictures of it. it is called: "Duel at sea"



the complete dio can be viewed here

this is definitely one of the coolest ship dio`s I have ever seen. Such a good action, superrealistic looking water I like the exp[losion next to that german ship great stuff
You can look further on this site they have some more amazing things with boats but also other dio`s

That has got to be the best water and ship building I have ever seen. The photogrpahy is killer too.
That's an awsome dio.

Have you read what the guy has done on his bio page. Cool stuff

Scott

I agree with you that the photography is really top notch on this site. Now you can see what natural light can do to your dio`s. They really come alive

This is not modeling, this is sculpture in plastic. I am constantly in awe of what creative people can do.

Joe indeed makes some of the best dioramas out there. I asked him once to share some of his techniques with me but he did not want to give up any trade secrets. The water in this particular dio is first class.
