That belongs in the readers gallery both here and in the mag, if not a story on the build and water effects.

Thanks again guys, I enjoy unusual subjects.

GH,

I sent it to the reader's gallery. I've had builds in the online gallery before, but can take a few months to get there assuming they pick it.

It certainly deserves to be published anywhere possible. This is an outstanding model - a rare combination of aesthetics and accuracy. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Oh !

 Oh, my goodness ! You moved a lot of water that way .What an awesome dio .Luv It ! T.B.

WOW, you just knocked another one outta the park Steve! 

Awesome work!  But is it me, or does anyone else think those line handlers are nuts for hanging on to the rope while that boat is launched?!?

I am insanely jealous of your water effects MC, love it!

Thank you guys for the very kind comments and for following/looking in .

Jester,

It just looks difficult. If you follow my or Chris Flodberg's method (mine method is his with my own changes) you would find it's pretty easy, time consuming, but easy.

Hello Friend,

I am sorry for the slow response. But you absolutely crashed this one out of the park!! What an amazing diorama, outstanding detail and craftmanship 

Great job Steve, especially on taking the time to publish and explain the steps you do to make the wave and try to replicate the details off a photograph.  That is not easy to do.

Just saw the Puffer launch on Facebook in the Undersea Warfare Group! Proud to have seen you build earlier and I posted the link to the photos.

Oh my! Wow, I had no idea it got around!

That is one superb Dio. Beautifully done kind Sir.....Cheers Mark
