This isn't a model or a diorama, is it? It's got to be a real ship as seen from the air, with water boiling over the sides, action on the quarterdeck. Somebody just took pictures of a real ship. (Just kidding, of course, to make my point.) It's magnificent.

That wet deck effect is amazing, most realistic I have ever seen on a model. The crew had better get that mooring line that is washing around on deck near the forward turret lashed down before it goes overboard and fouls a screw.
Brilliant work Chris, my most sincere compliments.

That mooring line needs to be there as it was carefully placed by the men to hide a rather troublesome and ugly deck seam ; )
