Both of those are amazing.

Yes you do. There's air inside a submarine and when it explodes the flames and smoke burst out in giant air bubbles.

Is there a light source of the orange and red? They look too bright and luminous to be just reflections, pretty amazing sea foam/spray.

You guys might find this interesting:  http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/

Wingnut companies are part of Peter Jacksons collection (Weta Digital, LoTR etc). I think in downtime between movies they do modelling projects. Jackson also has a company that makes full scale replicas of WW1 stuff.

His team also did some WW1 exhibitions, instead of small dioramas they went the other way, the detail on them is stunnng:



same sculpture from in front:

That's awesome.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Pretty, but highly inaccurate.  Musashi struggled on for quite some time after the last attacks before succumbing.  Almost her entire crew got off.
