Kostas, thank you for sharing your work.  I can almost feel the sea breeze and motion of the ship.  
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.

Totally awesome work, Kostas! Seeing work like yours really motivates me to get along with my own Akagi and Kaga.
Keep inspiring!

That's it! I am taking my toys and going home.
Wow, seeing that makes me want to quietly put away my stuff. This is a fantastic piece of work. I am glad you shared with us.

I wonder if he has done the Kaga. If not it would be cool if he did. Just like all the other comments - simply amazing
Cheers
