I've seen this work a while time ago

It looks fantastic in my opinion

Water is rendered in a stunning way

It is in 72 scale? Could be interesting doing also it in 48 scale.

...I've in my stash a hold Otaki kit. Maybe i try to do something like this



Really well done! Congrats

Holger I love this dio ! I followed your build-log and I am very jealous of your skills.

The diorama is simple (in composition, not in construction) but it just draws you in with its story. How did it happen, what happens next, what is going through his mind ???

What are you planning for your next diorama?

Cheers, Damian

Hi Holger,

Very, very nice! Well done and quite realistic, you have replicated the depth perfectly!

How did you do the water? I am wrapping up a 1:1250 USS Enterprise (CV-6)for a friend who was a plank owner on her. A base like this would really make it a nice gift.

Thanks,
Dave

Wow, your final version really turned out nice Holger. I think you got a lot more "depth" to the water this time even though it looks like the epoxy is not as thick. Really well thought out and executed!

Cheers.
