In my mind one of the boldest moves of World War II, the Channel Dash. Then add in my favorite ship and its a big winner to me.

I really like the water and the action.

Good work! 20 mm guns - super

Very nice, I really like the arial shot.

Cheers/Jan

Great work, Augusto.

Thanks for sharing

Augusto: I certainly cannot find fault with your builds here. They look fantastic!. However, at your invitation, I would only note that the ocean you made looks like the ships are sailing in 15 feet of south pacific water (i.e. way too light blue). The North Atlantic where those ships would normally be found is very dark blue green. It is ofter portrayed at scale as black.

Other than that - a fantastic build

Beautiful work Augusto!

Thank you all for your kind and useful comments.

David: you are right. It's only recently that I started to pay more attention to the color of water depending on the scenario. But for this model, that is part of a large diorama, "the Channel Dash" or "Operation Cerberus" (You got it Jim!)I didn't focus on that detail. But it's never too late!

Very opportune your comment. Just right now I'm upgrading another kriegsmarine diorama -supposedly taking part on the North sea or Noregian waters and I just paint it as you can see in the imgs below. I guess from what you said that it is too blue.



Can anyone give me a clue?
Thanks again for your comments, mates!

I've looked at this several times and each time I envy the talent and patience. Ditto to everything said about it and I can't wait for your next creation.

Thanks, again mates for all those kind words!
For those willing to see more of my work I can tell that the diorama shown above (my previous post on Nov 29th) is already in Gunny's mailbox as are my SBS articles on how I make my bases and water.
Hope not to dissapoint you! In any case, your comments and critics would be VERY welcome.

Happy modeling,
Jorge Augusto
