JAWS ORCA Model W/ Capt Quint

My. God. I stumbled across this post while looking for reference photos for my own ORCA build. Just purchased the plans for it last week and can't wait to start on this awesome project. I can only hope my own boat turns out half as good as yours. Your build is absolutely amazing!!
If I can ask, does your friend do commission work? I would love to get a copy of the Quint figure for my boat. It is, without a doubt, the most eerily- realistic rendition of Robert Shaw I have ever seen.
Please LMK. And, again, EXCELLENT work on your boat!!
 
dam you beat me to it this was going to be my net build but at 6th scale. got the drawings ready. well hat off this is fantastic.

Been following your build..Well sort of.I just found it today.Excellent work!! I gotta figure out the CAD design stuff before I ever attempt another Orca.You did a great job!
 
Figured Id post the finished boat.The boat was finished about 3 years ago and long sold.But I still have the pics. 1/14 scale (Quint by professional sculptor Palmer Murphy). I definitely wanna do another some day to keep for myself.But wont even attempt it,unless I can laser cut it and do the bulk of the work on a computer.Thought of hand building another gives me anxiety.
