    110% underrated! From the details on the steel fabrications on the hull to the electronics to the interior designs... This is what I inspire to do as a hobbyist! On a side note I was just doing a tour of San Diego harbor in the summer, I can't tell the difference! This is amazing! Excellent work could be for commissions and official uses!
  • I am beyond amazed! This is a whole new level of detail and expertise! Bravo!!
  • @diggilad781
    still an inspiration since the Missouri diorama. the thumbnail is very high in quality. Very nice.
  • @DamianReloaded
    You could compose a photo of this diorama over a photo of a real harbor and people would be hard pressed to realize the diorama isn't the real thing. What a beautiful piece of work, again!

    The Seagulls!!! such a great touch. :) The lights really bring this to life. Fantastic work as usual.
  • @frankierzucekjr
    Impeccable job bud. The way the lights reflect off the water, the amount of details and craftsmanship.. phenomenal work
  • Great video and assembly with all the fantastic details, I just built the 1/700 hobby boss USS Essex LHD ship and practically had to use a microscope. The trickiest part was attaching the photoetch guard rails around the perimeter of the ship. I want to build a water diorama with the Essex parked next to a 1/700 scale model of the Sea Shadow or a USS Zumwalt ship. I work with the 2 part clear epoxy resin all the time making bar tops and other furniture surfaces so it should be fairly easy with blue dye and I have gallons of epoxy.
  • The seagulls were an especially nice touch. I have been building scale models since 1965 but nothing approaching this level of realism--I've done just enough to appreciate the results shown in this video. Better still, I served aboard a warship, USS Tripoli/LPH-10 for eight months--the level of detail going into the docks and two ships is impressive. Thank you for sharing your work.

    Nice detailing on that, There ought be some "rainbow" swirls inside the POL boom (which ought be on both sides). Mooring lines ought to have rat guards on them. But many bonus points for not showing red rust on aluminum ships.
  • Every video is a masterpiece. Truly the best ship diorama modeler on YouTube. Thank you for sharing
  • @zhouenlai2569
    Exceptional work, both the ships and the harbor scene. Weathering, details, lighting, it all comes together. Thank you!
  • @krazium1776
    no idea how these are even possible I could never but they are so beautiful I love models and dioramas!
  • @akwa-pasja1985
    Gratuluję mistrzowskiego poziomu! I dziękuję za film
  • @AJB2K3
    The amount of tiny details that went into this is amazing.
  • @calvinlee1813
    Impressive. This is the best those two ships have ever looked. Very impressive work.

    I work on 32nd Street Naval Base in San Diego as a private contractor and it is crazy how accurate you are with the amount of detail you put into this diorama! Well done!

    I like the idea of a swarm of LCSs escorting Philippine and Vietnamese supply ships through contested seas.
