It's marvelous seeing how techniques developed in other genres of scale modeling can allow a nautical newcomer to produce such realistic naval scenes.

I do like the amount of weathering you have applied, it seems just the right amount, the cargo of tanks, were these from another kit ? And finally, the diorama, very convincing and would you ever consider building 2/3 of these ships and placing side by side in the same sort of harbour ?
