    Very realistic figures
    I do have the impression that the fisherman had a big sailfish who had bitten when I see al the blood on the edge of the boat!!!!

    Hi there everyone, didnโ€™t realise how long it was since my last post. Itโ€™s harder work being retired than working, itโ€™s now a 7 day week, Iโ€™ve still my blog to finish plus the shark to tow behind the Orca, I have at least finished the crew and took a few photos so here they areโ€ฆ the boxed figures are as the originals, they started out as a set of DR Who figures ยฃ12 for 3 from B+M stores.

    Hi there. If it helps the first couple of pages of my โ€œOrca Buildโ€ blog and the first 5 photos might help as I took photos at most stages of my build. So hope this gives some inspiration to dive in and start. Donโ€™t hesitate to ask for more info as I donโ€™t blog every detail and only got to page 10. There must be at least another 10 to finish,I have loads of photos and still shots from the film etc. what I did find out though was they used 3 boats when filming so some details are different in some scenes.but this helps dispel the rivet counters who comment on something not being correct, and of course gives us builders licence to interpret details our way. Good luck and contented modelling

However they have arrived and seem a bit sketchy in places excuse the pun .. ie I'm trying to order what timber I will meed sizes etc but on the plans I got I cannot for the life of me work out the keel ๐Ÿ™„ it's not fully shown drawn in ..plans I got are Sarik

    Hi Rogal, nice touch the barrels. I recently sans lathe I am afraid, made some barrels with some dowel and stuck matchsticks all the way round and filed a curve at each end for the shape. Then cut some quite narrow width tubing to fit. That was the hardest part!
    Nice job
    Roy

    First class job Rogal, well done โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ
    Superb detailing, but I must admit ...
    whoever makes them, those yellow barrels always remind of Minions๐Ÿ˜‰
    Looking forward to your next project.
