Hello everyone, this is my version of the Borodino as it turns to fire its broadside to the Japanese fleet.
I used generic 1/350 rails and the artwox deck. Rigging was done with black copper wire 0,1mm and wig hair. For the seascape i used styrofoam and cotton with gloss medium.
Comments / critiques are welcome as always!

Very impressive, further inspiration for me to get this kit, I particularly like the dynamic scene the diorama conveys with the wake of the ship making its turn, very well executed, yia sou!

Then you are doubly blessed with talent, and with fortune! Again, thanks for the inspiring scene.

This is a masterpiece, Nikos Madakis.

I like how you managed to capture a moment in history and breathed life into the situation.

Perhaps some judicious use of 1/350 crew miniatures, some full spectrum lighting, and a suitable case would realize the full potential of your work.

Just a thought.

Konstantin thank you very much for your kind words and recommendations. The 1/350 figures were impossible to get with the financial situation in Greece. My photography skills leave a LOT to be desired i admit. I am pleased to report that the model won bronze at the local model competition. Here it is sitting on the shelf.
And my name is Nikos Kosmadakis, i cut one "kos" in the username. Are you greek by any chance?
