ORCA scratch build

[DCN]

Of course you are , you know I make as many mistake as anyone, I had to make the ORCA twise for gods sake.

2 Of the most incredible builds,...and the fastest builds. The Daily JAWS or one of your UK Scale Model Boat Magazines ought to do stories on both the builds. Perfect for the 50th Anniversary.

I did tyre to contact the daily JAWS after someone mentioned them before during version one. they never got back, so they obviously aren’t interested in fan models but the model boat club I joined to use there lake have got it in a model boat magazine coming out next month .
I’ll post it here when I can.

I did want to start a new thread just for this but I bought this model kit for Etsy a wile back after seeing it on YouTube. It arrived the other day and I was blown away with how good it was. Sorry didn’t take any photos of the build, just wanted to enjoy it. Only took a day to put together and paint.

The quality of the 3D prints and the fit and finish of the parts was second to none. I don’t think he’s making many more of these so if you have the spare cash it has my thumbs up.

This has been in my basket since he released it. Shipping and customs to Sweden though is a pain so I haven't been able to justify the purchase...

I haven’t done it justice by putting it together so quick. Worth every penny.

Hello Flimzy, I hope you're well and I have loved watching you built your 1:9 scale ORCA.
Back in April of this year you mentioned that you would be selling plans for this build to fund your 1:6 build. Is this still the case?
I look forward to your reply.

I will eventually make plans but at the moment I don’t have the time to put in the work it would take to make a comprehensive set of plans.

This thread is absolutely amazing!!!

Anyone think since NECA is re-releasing Hooper and Quint that they will finally do Brody?

 

[Jamesfett]

Flimzy told me the family of Roy Scheider would not give NECA the rights to make the figure.

 

[chubsANDdoggers]

Couldn’t they make a figure that resembled Roy and call it Chief Cody?
