Wonderful work Kostas.

Excellent work, you did a fantastic job capturing both of these ships and they look like they're really being tossed about in the North Atlantic! Very impressive!

Wow, that is some incredible work. I love the way the sea is streaming off the decks.....great photography. All that's missing is a grey, cloudy backdrop. That would really set the pics off.

Those are the best representations of heavy seas I've seen yet. The deck planking on those very wet ships helps convey the impression they are on the bounding main. Beautifully executed!

Ditto - very active and dramatic, well done.

Full of action and very dramatic!
Congratulations Kostas

Cheers,

Excellent work!
The best water modelling I've ever seen and the two ships look so immersed (if you'll pardon the pun), and look beautifully made and presented.

Would I be nit-picking if I pointed out that, AFAIK Hood never fired her guns over the port beam as depicted.

The way the two sides closed on that day meant that the Hood was always pointing in front of the Bismarck and so only used all her turrets, facing over the starboard (right) side and was in the process of turning to port (to close the range more slowly and allow the thicker armour to take the brunt of any hits) whe she recieved the fateful hit that caused her loss.

For a more involved (and clearer account) of the battle have a read of this series of articles here.

Great work. The water effects really bring them to life.

The water effects are absolutly stunning. It looks like a photograph of the actual ships. The wash over effect on the decks of both of the vessels is incredible.
