Very impressive - the just fired depthcharges are a nice touch!

The workings on the water is very convincing !

Cheers/Jan

Wonderful work Karl!

Everything about that is awesome, but especially the depth charge explosion. looks totally convincing

Very well done ,Karl,you can almost hear the "Booms"


Cheers Phil

Top shelf, Karl!
Very impressive! This had got to be one of the best DC attacks I have seen.
I do have the "Campeltown" in the stocks for 2 year now and I am most impressed with your achivement here, too!
BZ!
Cheers,

Excellent stuff threre Karl love the differing formations that you have created

Thanks, everyone. Since this is only the second completed project I have brought before you in the past year, I am touched that many of you have noticed my style trend. It is also gratifying to see so many kudos coming from members living on the "Sceptered Isle" regarding a Royal Navy subject!

There will be much more to come in 2010, including additional variations on the ubiquitous 'four stacker'.

Hi Karl

After reading the description of the project, I have been enjoying the photos for a long time!
I really like the dramatic effect you made on the ship and it's surroundings, making a most realistic scene!
I must say I will try and reproduce this effect in 700th scale on a future project

A very well accomplished diorama, full of action
Congratulations (it's a A+)

Cheers,
Rui

PS: I also like the camouflage on the sides of the base - another nice touch!

Hi Rui!

I got the idea for decorating my bases from professional picture framers who use a selection of colored mattes to complement the dominant colors in the original artwork.

Please try to get some of that spider web material for your dramatic water effects--having the fibers all going in the same direction really helps with geysers and hose streams.

Thanks!

Beautifully presented, and thanks for sharing info too.
