Jorge,

Definitely a wonderful model and diorama! I appreciate warships of this era and hope to see more.

Very nice composition and coloring .Do try to include a more elaborate base as these models often gain even more from a more elegant somewhat presentation.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to look and comment!.

Kostas, I'll take your advice, and as soon as I have some time I'll try to do a more adequate base. With your work you have inspired me so much and I've never thought you would comment about mine so It was a very nice surprise! Thanks mate!

You're work is moving right up there with that of Kostas', and you can still make a frame around your base to make it more elegant following his suggestion. What's your next project Jorge, if I may be so bold to ask?

Thanks vonHengest for your kind words! I'll most certainly make a nice base as you suggest. At the moment I've been working in my first DKM Bismarck. I've always wanted to build one, buy since I've been working hard on it with a couple of aftermarket detail sets and preparing a nice water base (hopefully as good as Kostas ones!) I've been feeling a bit stress...So right now, in order to relax a bit, I'm building a couple of 1/72 training planes out of the box...then I'll hopefully resume my work on the Bismarck.
