It's the small attention-to-details that make diorama building wonderful. From the non-skid on the well deck to the seagulls on the mooring lines. Brings back old memories of my Navy days. Well done!
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!
Was just watching this video, and thinking the same thing. According to the caption it's supposed the be a SAN DIEGO DIORAMA. The way the display is done is cool, but I have to agree, if it's supposed to be San Diego there should be a photo or some kind displaying the Embarcadero, the ships being tied up at North Island, or the 32nd St Naval Base, something that says San Diego, because the display as it sits, could be anywhere
Why not, just make sure you can switch the ships from side to side. The only thing the Independence does is switch sides on the pier every few months. Pass it everyday - she don't go nowhere
Those are not ordinary ropes, those cables are wide as heck. I would agree if it was a small boat, but I’m pretty sure a seagull could plop down on those cables.
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!
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.
Simply superb from the modeling to the detailing and the weathering. The lighting and the diorama's presentation add all the more and put everything into context. I cringe every time I think of placing each of the tiny etched-metal parts but the end results pay off handsomely!
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.
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.
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!
Wow! That is an absolutely amazing build! I was fortunate enough to see the USS Independence from the pier in Norfolk back in 2009 I believe, or it could have been 2010.
Love the model really makes me realize how much the NAVY means to you guys in the hobbyist community. I feel like I could step into the model on pier 5. Only thing I noticed was no rat guards on the ropes. Amazing work!
Great job. This makes me want to build another model or two. If i had to critique this, I would add a few pallets of supplies on the pier and the flight deck of both ships for a touch of more realism. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
looks Great!!!! i would have loved to see the "roach coach" pierside as well as rubbish dumpsters, also the ensigns on the forecastle's should be the Jack
Another award winning diorama, I like both class of LCS classes, again great. Will you ever build a underway replenishment diorama? Take care, and all the best.
Superb! I'm usually not a fan of modern warship models, because they look so boring. But mooring two of them at a busy dock the way you did, well, mind...blown. This ranks up there with your Missouri and the F/A-18e Super Hornet on deck dioramas. Really excellent work!
You truly are an amazing model maker. I am traditionally not a fan of the Littoral Combat ships appearance . They are too modern for me. Your models of them , however, look great. The 3d printed pier … incredible. Your models in person must be out of this world. Keep it up , love the videos.

Probably studied photos of the harbor and individual ships to get this level of detail.
very life like indeed!

The Seagulls!!! such a great touch. :) The lights really bring this to life. Fantastic work as usual.
Seagulls can't sit on a rope

Thank you for sharing your work.
You people are absolute artists. Would love to do a gallery of just models. Worth more then any modern art.
I have said that for years. An art gallery on model dioramas.
Exceptional work, both the ships and the harbor scene. Weathering, details, lighting, it all comes together. Thank you!
명불허전~~
마에스트로~~
전시회에서 봤던작품 역시 기대이상으로 감탄을 금할길이 없었습니다
항상 건강하시고 언제나 좋은작품
고대하고 있겠습니다
Every video is a masterpiece. Truly the best ship diorama modeler on RUclips. Thank you for sharing
still an inspiration since the Missouri diorama. the thumbnail is very high in quality. Very nice.
CR 7
Absolutely fantastic - Great details, it's the reflections of the lights that are magic to me plus the weathering
Such a beautiful work of art. It is so detailed I could look at it for hours
The Art of building a hyperrealistic Modelscene !! Beautiful !! Hello from Germany !🇺🇲🇩🇪

You have once again taken modelling to a whole new level. Truly stunning work.

your one of the best ship modelers ive seen, this looks excellent
You never fail to amaze. Your work is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing .
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!
Impressive. This is the best those two ships have ever looked. Very impressive work.
beautiful build..awesome details..love it a lot. thanx for sharing this unique piece of work.
That's incredible... Fantastic work.....🦅🇺🇸🦅
The amount of tiny details that went into this is amazing.
So many little details in this make it really outstanding.
정말 감탄 밖에 안나오네요 밀리터리 프라모델하는 사람인 저도 감탄이 절로 나옴니다 정말 존경합니다
Kick ass video man!, really great work and a beautiful job
Awesome! Great story telling diorama!😊
One of your best dioramas yet, i showed my wife the picture at 20:30 and she thought it was a photo of the real ships, so well done 👍
Wow! That is an absolutely amazing build! I was fortunate enough to see the USS Independence from the pier in Norfolk back in 2009 I believe, or it could have been 2010.
Impeccable job bud. The way the lights reflect off the water, the amount of details and craftsmanship.. phenomenal work
Love the model really makes me realize how much the NAVY means to you guys in the hobbyist community. I feel like I could step into the model on pier 5. Only thing I noticed was no rat guards on the ropes. Amazing work!
Beautiful work as always. I'd love to see you do more harbor scenes.
U did a great job I love the light detail. And the water effects.
Astonishing! My favorite detail is the birds, really brings life. I hope to be able to make content on my ship building one day like you.
Очень крутая работа! Чайки- огонь! Снимаю шляпу.
Great the detail, love the seagulls and weathering.
Holy moly. That is awesome! Well done!
Cara, você é fera! Ficou muito bom! Parabéns!!!
Beautiful work. Just the ship models themselves are great but together with the lighting and diorama it's incredible.
Wow, most impressive modeling skills and patience. I couldn't even flow the water resin without bubbles.
Love the music choice, it gives the video such an interesting vibe
Brilliant work. So much time dedicated to this masterpiece. Love all the lighting. And as usual, superb water effects. Well done my friend 🙌🫡🤗
Absolutely stunning so lifelike!
no idea how these are even possible I could never but they are so beautiful I love models and dioramas!
All your works are wonderful.
Love the mangled inclusion of the shore power wires. Very well done
Absolutely fantastic and amazing! Next best to real stuff! I feel like reigniting my passion for model making!💐🌹🌼🌻🌺🌷
Barabens,, lindo trabalho, gostei
the details on this build it top notch, 10/10👌
I sat there... like a 6 year old...stuned. Amazing Work!
오랜만에 반가운 작품이네요.
실물감 최곱니다!
I think we've all just witnessed the next level in scale modelling, absolutely insane skills.
Excellent as always, Maestro!
Wow!!! a stunning build Sir 💞
Bonjour Quel travail de précision Vraiment génial Félicitation
I Love it! Amazing job! & Makes me want to get a 3D Printer
Thanks for filming this. Great to watch. Filming is more tedious than building IMO. Nice work
Great job. This makes me want to build another model or two. If i had to critique this, I would add a few pallets of supplies on the pier and the flight deck of both ships for a touch of more realism. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
looks Great!!!! i would have loved to see the "roach coach" pierside as well as rubbish dumpsters, also the ensigns on the forecastle's should be the Jack
спасибо ВАМ! за то, что вы ЕСТЬ!
КРАСАВчЕГ!!!
My home city and now I got to up my game when I build these boats. Great job.
On a different level.
Excellent!
Mind blowing good & Amazing attention to detail 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Look so real, amazing details
Superb work as always my friend 👍
Great job with the lights and people. Making a dock with resin water was genius idea 💡 indeed.
Amazing work as always, Sir!
Some how missed this video, but wow it is incredible work!
Absolutely stunning work
Fine art to be sure. Thank you sir! Go Navy!!
Always loved your work Very precise .
Absolutly a awsome build.
Man, you do the best sea dioramas on youtube, plus you're almost a 100k subscribers, keep up the good work !!!!!!!
Fabulous work with superb details (nice touch with the seagulls), congrats!👍👍
Another award winning diorama, I like both class of LCS classes, again great.
Will you ever build a underway replenishment diorama?
Take care, and all the best.
Hello friend, I really like your perfect work, attention to detail, I subscribed quickly, I congratulate you, good work.
Witam , klimatyczna diorama, pozdrawiam.
Awesome work. I can`t believe what i see!!!
Superb! I'm usually not a fan of modern warship models, because they look so boring. But mooring two of them at a busy dock the way you did, well, mind...blown. This ranks up there with your Missouri and the F/A-18e Super Hornet on deck dioramas. Really excellent work!
This is one great way to start my morning thank you!!!!!!
Nice work, great detail for 1/350 scale. I haven't seen an LCS in real life, they didn't exist when I was home ported in San Diego.
This took me back to pier 6. Well done 👍
Amazing detail - what a pleasure to see.
You assembled those models way better than the trash the shipyards delivered.
BRAVO ZULU
Love the internal lights and detail. Looking forward to the next one.
Type 45 Destroyer next in Western Approaches or Dazzle scheme?
Excellent Work ! 😎💜
Gratuluję mistrzowskiego poziomu! I dziękuję za film
As someone who was on active duty there and walked those piers daily for over a year, great work.
Excellent work, I have tried a bit of scratch build myself but nothing as detailed or complex. 10/10 cheers.
ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AMAZING, WHAT AN AWESOME JOB.
One of the most talent man I ever seen. Its so amazing and so beautiful models. Great work sir❤❤
Like this,good job even got the grinder birds around there
Wonderful 😍 it so realistic and beautiful work 😘
Absolutely mind blowing.
Brilliant! I can almost smell the salty air
Nice addition of the CGU-ll squadrons!
