And now for something completely different...
Posted by Wulf on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 7:57 PM

My next project. For those of you that know me, it's not my usual gig. However, who wouldn't want to build a Great White...honestly? A new release from Pegasus I picked up this past weekend. It's my first vinyl kit so there will be a learning curve. Progress to come...    Wink

Wow.

That looks cool.  And I'll admit...I had never heard of that before.  (Not the shark....the model.)

On the bench:  Tamyia Mosquito Mk. VI for the '44 group build.  Yes, still.

On deck:

Does it come with an exploding SCUBA tank?

LOL

I'd be tempted to put him with a 1/700th ship...

'So!?!'

'It's big as a battleship!!!'

I dare you to build it with a 1/700 scale sub in its mouth! 

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

You really need a model of the "Orca" (Quint's boat) with that.  Big Smile

Excuse me , doesn't GAF stand for GENERAL ANILINE AND FILM ? HE.HE. There was a firm by that name many , many years ago . No offense meant . You just don't run across that set of letters together that way very often . You are right though , the ORCA would look good sliding stern first down that big hungry gullet !

Yeah, I was thinking if you did Quint you'd have to do the 'Orca' too. I suspect you could find a model or toy fishing boat that would look pretty close.

I like the 1/700 sub idea. And ya know? Roy Scheider was in 'Blue Thunder' too wasn't he? Be funny to have him as Sheriff Brody show up with a helicopter gunship. Wink

Why , Hello !

   That was neat . I'd forgotten about that old ad ! Anyway thanks for a good sense of humor .That is so lacking today . I definitely think "QUINTS" old " ORCA " could be modified from some resin HO boat kits I've seen . Good Luck !  Tanker-builder
