Chris Flodberg once again shows us some great wave/water effects on this 1/350 scale Tamiya model of the British battleship, King George V.

Absolutely stunning Chris!!! If you look at one of the pics long enough you can feel the cold wind blowing and pounding against the ship, and smell the salt in the air. Bring this one to the next meeting. I don't want to see it - I want to experience it. Bob

This is an absolutely amazing piece of art. The water is just boiling, I would love a link to the SBS for it. As I wasn't aware of your Amato build. Thanks for sharing all the pix. Pat

What an appropriate subject to show off the water effects--the KGV's were notoriously wet ships and your technique really proves the point!

Ditto to the above. That renegade catapult and the little caption add lots of drama. Very exciting.
