Hello!

We don't have too many modellers around here building scale models of fish... Now I had to write you something, otherwise it would be a pity to see such a nice build without any comments. Now the hammerhead itself looks like a spaceship! - was my first thought. I like your painting of it, too. Thanks for sharing and keep those fishies comin'!

I like it too!  So does the guy sell these kits?  I Googled but came up empty for a website.

Great paint job you captured the skin tones perfectly its nice to see something really different. This Hammered would look great in an acrylic pour, have it lurking under some sailors that have abandoned a sunk battle ship.

That's really nicely done.  I was searching for the kit but cant find it.  Where did you get it?

What a great job! I really love the look of this model. Reminds me of an old movie called “ Islands in the Stream”.

I’m not a movie buff, as all I can come up with is a song by Dolly Parton!

Hi Pawel

Thanks for your comment and interest on this obscure model!

Thank you Sharknuts!  Is the model resin cast or 3-D printed?  How much cleanup did you need to do?  Your finish looks impeccable.

As far as I know, it is 3D printed, and no flash is present on this model, therfore the only cleanup I had was the seams where I glued the fins and mouth on. 

By the way, all the parts was such a good fit, that I did not have to use any putty, just cyanoacrylate glue to fill in gaps if needed.

OK then, so probably SLA printed, that's great!  Thanks for postng the pics and providing a contact for the maker!  

Hi!

    What a pretty predator fish!. Hammerheads are very unique! Especially the Scalloped Hammerhead . Ya know! I wish they would do other Fish. Like say the Whale Shark or maybe some smaller Reef Fishes.

      Imagine the awesome blast of colors you could have !T.B.

Oh wow that's a great job on the shading and paint work! Bravo sir!!!

Sharknuts,

I emailed Ed Angeletti and he was super prompt in responding!  I have a hammerhead kit heading my my way.  Can't wait to have a look at it.  I'll definitely be using your build as reference and inspiration!

Ed doesn't really have an internet presence on the Google, which is a shame since he offers some interesting kits.  I told him I'll have to pass on the Orca because at 24" long it is bigger than a 1/350 SSBN!  The 36" long Megalodon even more so!    But want to get the Archelon kit (a giant prehistoric sea turtle), and Ed mentioned a Manta Ray is under development!

Howdy ;

       Real G. Next time you communicate with him, would you ask him if he does a " Scalloped" Hammerhead, Please ? T.B.

Will do!  He said the next kits will be a manta ray and a narwhal.

I recieved the kit today, and wow I’m impressed!  The skin has unbelievably fine details sculpted in them.

Thanks Sharknuts for showing us your wonderful build up and providing the source of the kit!

I was so impressed that I am going to order another one - this one will become a Christmas present for a friend who has a penchant for quality exotic kits.

But first I am going to take photos of the parts and marvel at them!

Edit:  Close scruitiny of the parts tells me the master might have been SLA printed, then the kit was made by casting resin copies.  The casting looks first rate and I think the only parting line is along the belly, but appears to have been cleaned up.  No 3-D printing striations are in evidence.

I am glad to hear that you're pleased with the kit. I would like to see your finished Hammerhead shark model, when you're done building it! sharknuts

By the way, did you order the 1/20th scale, or the 1/10 scale Hammerhead Shark model?

I ordered the 1/20 kit.  6” is plenty.  Ed mentioned the Archelon turtle is 8” long, so it wil be pretty big since the shell displaces more volume.

G, I'd love to see that! And Sharknuts I'd love to see any other models you build.

That is a superb job on a really nice subject it would be god to see more of. Thanks for shareing and bringing this to our attention.

G, when you e-mailed him, did he send you a list of what subjects he has?

Bish,

Here’s what he wrote:

”Yes sir, we have 1/20 scale hammerhead $50 (about 6 inches) a 1/10 scale $100 (about 12 inches) a 1/20 scale megalodon shark $350 about (36 inches) a leopard seal $30, and orca $275 1/20 scale (about 24 inches) this summer we will have 1/20scale mako, tiger, and 1/10 scale great white. once we start production on those I'll get some pics ready.”

Thanks G. I might have to consider that Great White.

Geez, that thing is awesome! 

I failed to take photos of the first kit before it got gift wrapped, and I finally ordered a second kit plus the Archelon prehistoric turtle, so photos of the raw kits are forthcoming!

Ohhhhh, you had me at 'prehistoric' and 'turtle'...
