ORCA scratch build

Most impressive detail!

Still so much to do.

You're gonna need a bigger bench....

I’ve bitten the bullet and bought a new 3D resin printer sick of fixing the form 2 and the resin is so expensive. Everything I’ve printed so far is sub par. Having seen the quality of these Chinese printers and the fact I just paid less than the price of a formlad wash station for a printer wash / cure and some resin, I’m happy. Will let you know how it goes. I’m going to try and cast some white metal parts as well but I’ve never done this before so it might not work. There is so much to do but I’m having fun. Must be finished for Christmas.

Couldn’t wait any longer .took the masking tape off . For anyone living in England, I get some of my stuff from 4D models. Still loads to do.

 

[joberg]

Wow...another 4 inches and that ceiling of yours could've touched that mast (or is it the other way around?).
What kind of metal are you gonna use for the casting...?

flimzy I hadn't bothered to click on your profile yet - what a resume! No wonder this looks so professional!

I keep getting blown away by the caliber of makers on here.

... Muppet Christmas Carol, Babe, Event Horizon, Batman Begins, Edge of Tomorrow, The Martian... thank you for your multitude of contributions!

Sorry he is not a he

A genuine mistake; most of the industry is still male. Lots more female model/prop maker and in other arts & design like you

[Laspector]

[srspicer]

Excellent!!

My Tig welding isn’t up to anything this small so JB weld it is

it’s the small thing that take the time

 

[Odin82]

Absolutely magnificent dude!

This with one of those great Ozark shark replicas that were made years ago would be the display to end all Jaws displays for any fan. Truly incredible work you've done on this, and thank you for sharing the progress! Really brightens up the day to see updates!


Could have some great fun doing some stop motion and a green screen!

Can't wait to see what you have in store for the shark jaws on the front of the navigation platform! Kind of feels like it should be the last thing, like a king's crown being adorned on it!

 

[shaunsheep]

just a thing of beauty

 

[joberg]

JB Weld will do just fine! I see that you have a damaged window on the port side replacing the good one...any plan?

 

[flimzy]

I have remade the ladder and exhaust, didn’t like them . Got some printed bits out.

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Oh man this is SO AMAZING. No words to describe it
Where / how will you display it? It takes a lot of room...
