Working with a Japanese naval subject this time, Kostas Katseas brings us another one of his ocean dioramas.  This time, he shares with us his rendition of the IJN Nagato in 1/350 scale.

Ach!   No way!  The header looks like a high quality artist painting!   Kostas, how DO you make these models so realistic!?   The splashing and draining water - extraordinary.

Beautiful posing of the model and waves.

Kostas, I always enjoy your work and share it as often as possible.  You make the model come to life.  
Great nations do not fall because of external aggression; they first erode and decay inwardly, so that, like rotten fruit, they fall of themselves.  The strength of a country is the sum total of the moral strength of the individuals in that country.

Really nice a true work of art. Thanks for sharing this work with the rest of us.  What product brand do you use for your water?
