      What an excellent diorama. This is really impressive. I love the large pontoon plane, esp. how it’s placed in the water. The island is equally nice with the lush trees and greenery. Nice job creating the diorama from the inspiration image. It would have been really humorous to use the old blue sea plane as the wreckage.

      I love this thing. I am a sucker for well done historical MOCs.
      I can imagine the Catalina moving through the water, the pilot bobbing in the waves, and the Japanese running down the beach.

      I think I saw this one a long time ago, but it’s still very cool!

      It was on Klocki a while back. Still brilliant.

      *It was on Klocki a while back. Still brilliant.*
      I can’t agree more! I especially love the swell on the water. However, I do think the US insignia on the planes could have been improved, perhaps with the use of ‘jumper’ plates to even out the spacing. I also like how it’s not just a simpe square, that it’s an irregular shaped base.

      This is fantastic! The Catalina and the Corsair alone would be worth
      blogging. The dio is absolute win.

      Yes, I have seen this before, but that did not stop me from starring at the pictures again in amazement. The waves makes this a unique design!

      Best depiction of the ocean I have ever seen. The planes are great too. Excellent diorama.

      This is excellent. I love the creative use of layering to give the ocean waves a feeling of movement, and the white “foam” of water surrounding the half-sunken plane.

      VERY cool.
