Auld Gunner submitted this 1/48 scale diorama of the HM cutter ALERT on Facebook
made by Kazunobu Shiria. This is an unusual master piece of the shipodelert's art.
ip modeler's art.
I like this diorama because it is packed with action in such a small environment. The artist also knows how to create a wild wave theme where ALERT's crew members seem to hold on to dear life on an unstable deck

Wow! Amazing job! It looks real!
Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.
That is absolutely awesome! I wish I had that on display in my home.
Yes, very nice. I wonder though why the guns are run out.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Looks Donald McNarry like, very stunning!!

GMorrison Yes, very nice. I wonder though why the guns are run out.
Hi There " G "
I have seen picture of other Cutter types this way .I believe that's it to help with the roll moment .Wider weight slows it .Plus as stated those ships had no tackle for holding the guns back from the bulwarks in rough seas .They were safer this way ! T.B. There is another item of interest ! The vessel is being " Tiller " Steered !
Lost my post when the site just blinked. To make a longer comment short- how many degrees of freedom are being pushed by this little scene?
It is wonderful for that.
As to the guns, yes the extra deck space would be really useful.
A longer roll moment slows roll of course, but it also slows recovery. I'd only be concerned if I were the captain about recovery from a big wave if it stuck the rail under water.
Another amazing find, Crackers. Incredible craftmanship in both the ship and the sea. I am glad I am not on the deck of that ship! And that poor guy in the rigging - could someone please get him down before he is lost to the briny deep?
Fabulous artistry on display here.
