Wow! Looks like a 3D rendering of a scene from 'Sink the Bismark'! 
Amazing modeling of water.

That is probably without a doubt the most realistic scene of that type i have ever seen rendered.  The translucence of the water as you stated is incredible.  Simply to say "well done" is an understatement.  I would hope that you hung on to the project long enough to show it in a show and earn best of show honors as I honestly cannot but think not much could top this sort of rendering for those that know anythng about what they are seeing.

Now that's what I call 'waterworks'!  
 
It's a wonderful prelude to the Divine Waterline Campaign starting next month. Hooray!

Excellent atmosphere! The water looks really good! I wouldn't have the balls to try something like that for fear of ruining a well built model!

Thank you all for your comments.Peter, i dont have with me either as they were both commissions.Actually i dont have with me a single finished model right now.As i am moving to Greece for the foreseeable feature i made a promise to myself.Since i ll be in my own house, for every commission i take  ,and provided i don't have that subject in my collection already, i ll built two at the same time.That way i ll make sure one will stay with me forever, and i wont be so sad as i am now.Sure money is good but in 5 or 10 years time money will prop wont be there but my models will.Oh well time for some holidays before the winter season starts!!
