ORCA scratch build

Gawd, it's gorgeous.

I'd like to see more footage of it in action on the water.

Maybe do some shots with the frame rate overcranked, to help visually scale it up.

I woke up this morning thinking about the practicality’s of a 6th scale ORCA. The main problem being getting the model out of the house to go to the lake or dream the coast for some horizon shots. The get it out of my workshop is easy, in to the house is easy but the bottle neck is the 2 doors leading out side. I worked out if the 6th scale boat with its hull intact and disassembled like the NECA one ,removable mast and bridge. It’s 680mm wide or 27” to my friends. So I measured the doors this morning knowing this is a go or no go situation. 780mm 31” . It’s a go next summer.

So That Seals It!!!!!! I'm sending you the bits I showed you!! .........It's a start lol.

It’s a go next summer.

I am looking forward to following your progress!

Sounds great.

I've been hoping you would go ahead with the 1/6th. I love that scale because it's just past the tipping point for the phyiscs. It's big enough for models to look realistic in action with water, smoke, fire etc. 'Das Boot' had many good shots of their 1/6th-scale submarine model riding on the surface.

Your NECA scale model is already detailed enough to give me chills. But a 1/6th version would be on another level.

Museum Class ship model. Academy Award quality video with movie theme music. Documentation, sketches & research meets or exceeds the hand written note book entries of National Air & Space Museum’s aircraft mechanics that restored WW2 planes (Right down to the exact equipment type of lock washers machine screws). Awesome.

Yep, another home-run with that project flimzy Love the video and the behind-the-scene shots also.
As for the wear & tear on the boat, as soon as you do exterior shots, you see that there isn't enough of it on the boat. I'm not going to tell you that there's a world of diffs between interior/exterior shots in terms of how you make that model look real on film/video...you have much more pro-jobs/gigs under your belt for me to criticize your wonderful work
Cannot wait to see the 1:6th scale and another of your epic builds
