Yup! I was thinking something familiar might help with size scale.Richard
Simply stunning. Those Vallejo bottles in the background put it into scale nicely.

Jim, the references keep showing stuff up but I have to stop at some point. It will be a while before I do another 1/700 kit.Fantastic Richard. The sheer amount of detail in this build lifts it so high that without the bottles to give it scale it could be mistaken for 1/200 or even larger. The skill and dedication you’ve shown in this one are outstanding.
It would be great if it was a job instead of a hobby but I'm lucky for it to be a hobby anyway.A great job Richard. PaulE
WHAT Tim has said Richard cant put in any beter fab modelFantastic Richard. The sheer amount of detail in this build lifts it so high that without the bottles to give it scale it could be mistaken for 1/200 or even larger. The skill and dedication you’ve shown in this one are outstanding.
HI John i think it all depends on the hull design an how fast the vessel is traveling as in the pic that ARLEY BURKE has got a very broad beam an richard ship is a fairly slim hull not built for speed an that burke is probberly goin all ahead flank at about 33 knots so bigger waves but this is just my opinionRichard
This is really an outstanding piece of mini construction, very well done. Now you know me and always have a suggestion. Believe it or not there is a science to ships waves that could rank alongside rivet counting as a sign of OCD. However the wake in your ocean looks to me a little contrived. The waves down the side of a vessel tend to be more asymptotic to the hull (more of a gentle curve away from the hull line) than your depiction.

And there are somewhat less of them.

And to prove how neurotic I can be here is a depiction of the science behind all this.
Having added my two cents please feel free to ignore all this baloney and continue with your superb model.
