[Matt308]

Way cool

Anybody want to educate us on how they do the waves for the diorama? I remember reading about this in Scale Modeler in the late 70s, but have long forgotten.

Beautiful models of some very purposeful ships. Lots of history there. Can you imagine just being aboard the George V when the guns were in action? Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
