The Ship Model Forum

Great work!

That's great, must look really impresive in the flesh at 1:48, loads of great detail.

very impressive modelmaking and good ' feel '

Looks fantastic!

Will you be posting a step-by-step of the construction? Otherwise, the thread will have to be moved to the [Not Documented] section.

Hi all!
I am not building ships, I've been modelling 1/48 plane dioramas for more than 20 years now. I'd like to show you my completed 1/48 Akagi island diorama in which everything except for the planes is scratch built. I'd like to thank Dan Kaplan and the other gus from the forum who gave me their valuable tips to get on with this project.
Cheers,
Panagiotis.
