Kostas,

Superb! I don't know whether to look at the water or the ship! You packed a lot of detail in there. How do you make the mattresses used as splinter shielding?

I agree with above: "I don't know whether to look at the water or the ship!" I couldn't turn to another web page when I saw this. Incredible work!

Kostas, you and Chris Flodberg are truly masters of taking detailed models and rendering the high seas! Adding a bit of heel to the Kongo is an especially nice touch!
