Turret Truck with Frozen Tuna

There is something fishy about that! ;)

Great subject !

I really like worn paint finish.

Oh, yes.............

Sorry Charlie.....only the best tuna get to be StarKist..........

Holy cow do you appear to have paint chipping down pat. I'm extremely jealous!

That's a very neat kit and it looks so realistic if it wasn't on your keyboard I'd have thunk you were joshing us.

Ditto on the chipping!  Hairspray?

Yeah, give up the secret man.

Ditto !

"Enquiring minds want to know." 

You just built that for the Halibut!

Nice, similar to something I use at work every day called a pack mule.

Very cool!

very unusual subject matter. one forgets that tuna are a large fish, since they come in such small tins.

.....and the painted tuna look frosty, as if the fish are frozen 

You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish.

Very nicely dirtied boots on that driver.

Gotta tell him he dropped a fish, though.

Wow very cool subject, great job.

That is honestly the cutest model I have seen in a long time, and so well-done! THe figure looks great, honestly!

Sashimi!

The weathering / chipping / wear on the truck is exceptional good

I have to ask .

   Do you want to buy my next catch ? My boat will hold 100 tons ..

Honestly, I can smell the fish!

2-13-15. Finally finished this, adding a simple asphalt-modeled base showing  the truck negotiating inside a warehouse. Wanted the driver to appear intent on his work (hence the pupils of his eyes looking towards the right), but contrast that with the ground stains of unknown origin, and a possible ominous end in the direction of the fish bone. The third tuna escapes (?)

What happened? The latest pics did not populate.

This fish tale didn't include the fish tails. Probably the best weathering and wear job I've ever seen, on any project. Completely realistic. Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed seeing it.

Very interesting kit subject. Done well too with paint and weathered effects 

LOL

It looks good even if it's a bit fishy.

You know somebody was going to post that.

I heard their mechanic was incompetent - he couldn't tune a turret truck, but he could tuna fish.    Badum bum!
