The ice effects are outstanding! And the torpedo-shaped name plate is also a really nice feature.

Amazing. Completely convincing & beautifully executed – what scale is this i.e. how big is the base? So you’re a master of land, and a master of water…do you do aircraft too??

Tim.. I'm not a master, I've made a lot of mistakes, with historical inaccuracy .in many dioramas, I'll show some .....Now, no,I don't make airplanes,they're too clean for me,ha ha,nor ships, the submarine is a gift from a friend in scale 1/125 and the base is 60 centimeters long.Thank you very much.
