"that's Not A Japanese Sub"

cthulhu77 · April 23, 2008, 11:14:05 AM

Well, it has been a loooooonnnnnngggg time, but the beast is finally nearing completion ( I have to finish today). I bailed on replacing the sail. and after a long bout of discussion on another site, decided to build it as a Gato, in the whatiff spirit of the movie. What if they had used a Gato?

sorry for the crappy image, this thing is so f'ing huge that it is hard to take a pic of it in the studio. I will have full review up soon on MM.

Nice work, Greg! That thing's frickin' ginormous! I'd say you nailed the paint job!

I gotta wonder in a case like this... how big is this guy's bathtub??? Or does he have a swimming pool. Can everyone say "AAAH_OOO_GAH!!!"

I thoroughly enjoyed your write-up and the additional pics, Greg, but who was that youngster holding up the finished model in the last shot?

WOW! It's big and it's pink. Not exactly what you expect to see in a modeling forum.

Not many guys could make a PINK sub model look so realistic.

That's a mind-boggling job you did there, Greg. Great write-up, too. More interesting than most, by far.
The interspersing of quotes from the film makes me want to go rent out the DVD.
