Thank you all for your kind words about my sinker! ( sunk! )

Superb work Jim.. I would love to see a kit of this class in 1/350 scale.

A bit late ... but still awesome! :thumbs_up_1:

Hi Jim,

Very impressive effect you achieved with this water and a magnific representation from a very original subject. :thumbs_up_1:

Best Regards,

Ricardo

Very realistic effect, and great idea!!

I was waiting to see this result. You really pulled off a "Jim Baumann" again! Strikingly realistic, love that water effect and the gloomy atmosphere it creates. I guess you'd never succeed in getting a similar effect if you'd not submerge the entire ship but only build the protruding parts. It really paid off to use this thick layer in the transparent view from the top.
Great job and for once the long duration (!?) of the build is not entirely due to your extreme detailing, but due to the drying time of the gel ;)

Well thank you all for your kind words !!!!

I am actually quite overwhelmed...!

I must confess-- that having a bit of distance from the model and re-looking a at her earlier today I am actually liking it more again!!!


Thanks again for your encouraging comments!!

Now that's just cool. Well done Jim, this is one of my favorites.

On more than one occasion I have had to remind myself that it is a modell, not an image of the real wreck. Really well done!

I had my doubts at the start, but... WOW!

Great job! And truly realistic! :thumbs_up_1:

That one is now officially my preferred from you Jim! I particularly like the transparency effects, and the very "it's grim up north" feeling about that one. On that scale this is quite unique indeed

I never thought that a wreck would be so nice.
Great job.

Nothing more to say - that IS the spirit!

Hello Jim

the rendering the water is "screaming of truth" especially the deep effect at decks level of the wreck :woo_hoo:
"chapeau bas l'artiste"
congrats
cheers

A wonderful presentation as usual, jim.

Hey Jim,

the surface effect of the water is very realistic.
Once again, a fantastic build of an interesting idea - well done!

Gr��e, Daniel

Though the subject is a bit sad, excellent work as ever :thumbs_up_1:

Stunning and so realistic,a work of art :thumbs_up_1:

Great job!

The water is especially realistic. I want to try using gel on my Nagato base. You've inspired me.
