That is impressive.  Imagine how many turns of WitP you'd need to play to finish that beast between them [X(][X(]

I thought it was a stealth ship until the link.  [:)]

That looks great, the time spent was staggering.

I never thought that doing an AAR would be so time consuming and difficult.

Nice.  Large ship models are intriguing, but boy do they take up space!

At the Nuremburg Toy Fair last year, someone introduced a 1/72 scale Bismarck model in injection molded plastic.  Haven't heard anything more since though.  It was enormous.

Beautiful looking ship. Odd looking bow wave.

Awesome!!! Definitely a labor-of-love. Very impressive, although the paint job on the TBMs could have been alot better, well, the F6Fs too, but I bet he had someone else do those.

The most fascinating part to me were the dolphins/porpoises racing the bow!!! How cool!!!! I've never seen that modeled before! [&o]

Here is a link to more pictures of the model. Somebody posted a feature a year or so ago that opened up pages showing all this guy's amazing work. If I find it again I'll add a link to this thread.
