Here's a few new models of assorted Japanese merchants and auxiliaries (alongside a few older models.) Asama Maru Hikawa Maru Small IJ convoy including fleet oilers Tatekawa Maru (foreground) and Kyokuto Maru (background). Buenos Aires Maru (left front), Asama Maru (right), and Hakusan Maru (rear) take aboard supplies and personnel. There's a little more discussion on ye olde blogge, but you get the gist of it.
Nicely done. More talent than I have. How big is the whole display? Sorry if it's already been asked, but I don't know the answer, and I'm too lazy to search for it.
Depends a little. For large scenes I shoot on a 6x8 table. For smaller ones, like above, a 17"x19" AV cart serves nicely. The background of the photos above is perhaps 12-14" wide.
