Bravo, Kostas! Explosions are very difficult to pull off - your diorama looks great!

Wow, this looks like a Guadalcanal scene! This must be a depiction of the air attack the San Francisco helped fight off on 12 Nov 1942 and just hours later fought two Japanese battleships in a furious night action.

Beautifully staged action and superb water and weathering effects!
