Crew-mate Kostas Katseas (angeleyes) no doubt has mastered the effect of re-creating vessels in action, in 1/700 scale...and he continues to marvel with IJN Battleship Yamato, in this "On Display" Feature!

Oddly enough I first saw this amazing work for sale on ebay, only wish I could afford it, I believe this is one, if not his best work to date, I only wish he'd build a dockyard diorama, I'd even send him some 1-700 buildings to make a start of it.

Another masterpiece, this time we get to see water splashed onto the wooden decks and gun directors synched with the turrets. 'Tis amazing.

I would give anything for a step by step demo on how he does his water effects with the white caps. I'm very envious of his talent and skills! Cheers!

Kostas, your models are absolutely amazing and very inspiring. Everytime I see one I want to get my hands on a ship kit... Hope to see more in the future!

I'm going to need an extra large towel for this one, Kostas - great work again!
