Awesome work and a great story.

Cheers/Jan

Very nice effort, if I may suggest the smoke thick black as the ship is listing, probably taking on water and very much doubt steam but in many cases with these old surface craft dark thick black smoke.

A great dio. Excellent work and story.

A beautiful piece of modeling craft. I love the whaleboats evacuating the crew.
The sea rolling in over the port side looks awe inspiring and gives a great sense of drama to the dio. Thanks for sharing this with us.
cheers,

Heck of a job Karl!

Nicely composed with lots of action and drama. That the ships are all scratch built amazes me. Truly excellent workmanship.

A pleasure to view, really nice work. So much to look at..

HI Alec!

Actually, Audacious was venting steam. The photos taken by the American tourists on the nearby RMS Olympic depict the steam venting into the Irish damp very nicely.

Thanks!

Amazing work Karl, a great build all around, cheers

Beautiful diorama! Really amazing stuff... And scratchbuilt too.

Thanks everyone for your attention and kind comments. The First World War campaign was a wonderful opportunity to explore another era not just in ship technology, but in the approach to a modern sea war. Although the campaign itself has concluded, I will still produce several other scenes from that conflict.

Keep modeling!
