Here is the the North Carolina trading shots with the IJN during a naval battle of Guadalcanal...







Great representation of a scale water column from a 14" shell in her wake.

The builder actually created both the USS North Carolina and the IJN Takao during the same battle - here launching long lance torpedoes....


Notice the streaks in the waters - a little builders' license since I don't think the long lance actually created a bubble trail....



And yes, I know the IJN didn't have black boot stripes - unfortunately the builder didn't (at the time...)

One of my favorite and a runner up at Tamyiacon? was this depicting the Prince of Wales mortally wounded and listing while the HMS Express takes off survivors.

Here is a interesting diorama of Tirpitz moored in Kafjord, Norway a few days before her fateful bombing....

Pulled out of night carrier training activities and put into combat, here USS Saratoga prepares an alpha-strike against Iwo Jima, just a few days before being hit by a kamikaze of Chi-chi Jima...

these are some fantastic models! Bravo sir!
