Sharknuts' very nice build of Fade to Black Productions' hammerhead shark made me want one too. But after seeing the high quality of the kit firsthand, it was hastily wrapped and given as a Christmas present. So I finally got around to getting one for myself.
I just love looking at the curves of those lovely cast resin parts. Most garage type kits in the US have not been terribly impressive to me, but this one checks off all the boxes for quality. There are no instructions, but none are needed - everythng fits perfectly.
While corresponding with the seller Ed Angeletti, he sent me some photos of additional products, and in one of the photos I spied a sea turtle. When I inquired about it, he told me it was an Archelon, a giant prehistoric turtle! Cue the music (just for you Gamera!):

So anyway, I ordered one along with the shark kit. Shark. Kit. NOT Sharkit, purveyor of awful sub-optimized resin garbage kits from France!!!
The castings are just as lovely as the hammerhead, but due to the more complex nature of the shell, there are pour plugs in the sockets for the rear flippers and tail.
Nothing a motor tool with a small grinding bit can't handle.
So anyway, I'm super jazzed by the kits. Now to mull display options. My friend who recieved the first hammerhead is planning on making a small diorama with a child standing on one side of an aquarium glass and the shark on the other side.
