Beautifully done and photographed (I like the explosion’s reflection in the water – nice touch).

Agree with Craig, the reflections are really something. I’d enjoy hearing about haw you created the effect. Great work.

Hello Won-hui,
I have just seen “all” your contributions of today. What can I say.
The most professional builder in this scale that I have seen so far.
It is a joy to look at all the tiny details.
Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands.

Wow – no words really – I especially love the photos where you can’t see off the edge of the diorama – it just looks so real!

Actually, Franklin was bombed by a Judy divebomber that popped out of the clouds and dropped two 250kg bombs, which hit among the deckload of fully-fueled and armed aircraft she was 20 minutes away from launching – the worst possible time. It wasn’t a kamikaze.
This is very nice work in creating the explosion.

Very inspiring and impressive! Your water rendering is excellent and explosion scratch-building… quite something. Bravo!
Cheers,
