Gimme Shelter Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Picked up at Telford last year for £30, here is the vinyl and poly combination kit of the 1/18 Great white Shark and Diver / diving cage model. It is a fine model and a bit of a refresher to work on in-between the sci-fi stuff I have out on the bench. My intended final model will utilise both the optional heads, as the below pictures explain. I expect to have to go through at least 3 stages of filling and sanding/priming, however these photos only run through to the second stage of filling. The diver is rubber and was boiled for 5 mins and then wired into his new leg pose and had his arms cut, manipulated and filled into the new arm pose. The spare head will be used as shown, poking up from within the cage flesh chewing fun bye for now - John 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Very much looking forward to seeing this progress. There's something about the Great White shark that I find fascinating and more than a bity terrifying.... Thanks for sharing. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 hi guys, here's a link to a similar build that is inspiring my intended finished scene - although I am being careful not to let out too many secrets this early on in my build - lets just say this link has "similar" end results https://modelingmadness.com/review/misc/figures/lylegw.htm flesh ripping, blood splattering gory fun !

clive_t Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Oo this looks cool, I'm in - although if it's ok with you I'll watch from relative safety, away from the water's edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 the second attempt to sand and fill that horrible seam line was not sufficient so here is where I am, third time lucky I hope now Mr Diver now has his arms properly attached - and a bit of a mouthful while being primed, more new mould join seam lines now showing themselves, more filler I guess.. dum dum dum dum der der derrr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carts Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Any chance Sharky will have a Hook through his Jaw? Looks smart so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billydick Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 She's formidable even in kit form. Like what you're doing with the diver's cage BillyD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
