ORCA scratch build

[finalfrontier]

I think the Orca will be finished this week but I still want to do some shooting video so will post that as well if you're interested?
I'm might start the shark as a separate thread or should I keep it here?

Keep it in this thread, easier to come back too in my opinion.

If you keep it here, you could always edit the thread title - "ORCA & BRUCE scratch build" or something along those lines.

Yes, video please; would be interesting/challenging to make it float on the Thames

If you modeled, and printed, and painted those generators THAT FAST, I have to surmise you are actually an alien super-being from another universe.

That is, well, GEEK1138 speed. Maybe faster.

Flimzy, just caught up on this thread and once again, I am speechless. The quality of your work is genuinely jaw-dropping...I'm glad you've got your mojo back.
I made a less accurate bit of the Orca deck, a while back, when I did a 'Jaws shark' for a theme park;

That is fantastic Geek! Now that's a photo op!!

Alamo Drafthouse will come calling for their next Jaws night!

Here is a image or shot of a blueprint of the original sharks proportions something to help guide you in case you want to refine the proportions and features on your printed shark.

I also just got caught up on the thread. This is just wonderful. Its enjoyable to see good research and craftsmanship come together for a great model!!

 

[flimzy]

I’m still not as quick as you. One day we will get together and make a 6th scale version.

Just waiting on the piano wire to finish the cage, so I can take it apart and dress it on the deck. Working on rust today but that only leaves the mystery box, harness cork floats and it’s done, I’ve bought some fabric for Brody’s rubbers so that’s the next challenge.

I’ve made a stand that should bring it to life a bit and added a engine sound box which is so much fun.

What is the “mystery box”? Maybe I can help with that.
