I wandered into a great little "Educational" Toy shop the other day.
One of the product lines they sell are beautifully cast and painted sea creatures. ( I purchased a 10 inch sperm whale ).
Anyhow they had many different sizes of whales , dolphins ect.
Just a thought but they would make a great addition to a sea diorama. Provided scale works of course.
Anyhow here is the website for the manufacturer.

You have never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3!
Way to go! If my math is right, according to Wiki a sperm whale is 40 feet long. Thats 480 inches, and a 10 inch model would therefore be 1/48 which is a good model scale.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I know it's been done before, but a really large Squid pulling a ship under would make a cool diorama.
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
Lol, yeah a Krakon would be awesome!
Back in my teen years there was a picture in one of the Ultima computer game manuals showing a sea serpent exploding out of the ocean to attack a sailing ship. I've always wanted to build something like that but keep putting it off not thinking I have the skills to pull it off since I'd have to scratchbuild the serpent. One day though.....

GMorrison therefore be 1/48 which is a good model scale.
The orca is right about 1/32 scale.
The polar bear is about 1/15.
The walrus is around 1/30.
The white shark is right near 1/25.
The blue whale is right on 1/87.
Dolphin (using the common dolphin size of feet) is 1/20The crocodile is near enough to 1/24.
Things that make me go "hmmmm"

Too bad the Sperm whale to so large Bill, it would make great diorama with the Charles W Morgan, which Revell states is 1/110 scale.

Remember John Tilley would express so much disgust over the notion of modeling whaling ships. One of the very few things that got his jones going.
One of the whaling ship models of yore, I want to say the Wanderer, came with a base of intertwined whales.
I would say a 1/110 Moby Richard would be about 4" long.
Not to mutinize the thread, but Britains made a really dandy elephant that was great for "Ancients" war gaming. The plastic one was pretty cheap.
