Excellent results, very realistic. Couldn't explain to myself how the photo of the real action was in color, the I realized it was a photo of the dio.

Hi Ron,

just found the time to read a little backwards in the forum (so much going on at the moment) and found this.

WOW and then all of the above, I could repeat those word the others have said but I do not!

I love the way and the skills you have of creating a dramatic, authentic scene and the use of materials you use to create that realistic water.

The pictures are great.

Well done Ron, always a treat to be able to watch your work.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Richi

Thanks for the excellent posts on this boys.....It's always a nice bonus when we are lucky enough to have our models resurrected, isn't it?

Thanks again,

Ron

Wow...i thought it was a photo when i saw the first pic...fantastic.

I think the B&W photo captures an emotional essence as well. The pilot survived, and before the plane sinks he must check on the other 2 crew. Hoping they are alive and possibly just unconscious, albeit, badly hurt, he then discovers to his sinking horror (much like the plane) that they are dead. The shot looks like it could have been captured by a crewman on a rescue boat, on the way in to make a pick up...
