I'm In ! Supermarine Orca Finished under the wire.....

Captain Canada · April 30, 2009, 02:03:40 PM

With a bag of goodies, a few beers, some days off, and a one month extension ? I'm hoping to resurrect my Scale-o-Rama idea from waaaay back into a floaty thing.

I have no idea who's going to manufacture it, or what it will be called.....

Captain Canada · May 01, 2009, 06:49:57 AM

Little progress last night...seperated the fuselage and started to ready it for the filler. I find that NHL playoffs severly hamper my modeling time.....

Cool concept!

~~Is that a scale-o-rama~~* with a single-seat fighter cockpit?

* People who can read really have an advantage.

Still, the single-seat cockpit will look great!

Surely something by Supermarine.

Do I need to call Mrs. Captain Canada and get her to yank the cord from the satellite dish so you can focus on styrene?!

Hard to take your eyes off the dominance of the Wings eh? Where is Kurly btw?

Captain Canada · May 04, 2009, 11:10:37 AM

Ya Nev, they dominated my whole day by playing 6 periods ! Loved the outcome, tho. Kurly left the building.

Baz, I'm on cable, so.....

Caps and Pens is going to be a long series...love it !

Here's my small update for today:

Scribe some lines in the styrene....

Bend along said lines.....

And it curls right into place....now, onto the filler !

Nice mods, Cap'n! I'm going to enjoy watching this one come together!

Super Sweet!!!!!!! Tell if I'm nuts but.................Wouldn't a Major Aircraft Name in Canada be Avro Canada??? Your Aircraft is Looking Cool. i can Just Picture an Alarm Klaxon Going off and Coast Guard Crews running to Your Aircraft,Ready to Go to the Rescue!!!!!! Stay Cool,Captain!!!!!

Captain Canada · May 10, 2009, 10:55:01 AM

Thanks Cobra !

It'll probably be a Supermarine a/c as my idea was to have her on a catapault on the back of a big capital ship. I was struggling with the cocpkit, tho. An a/c this big should probably have more than one crewman. I was going to use the canopy from an Avenger, but it wasn't true enough to my original cocncept. I may add some kind of bubble for an observer at the back. Maybe.

Captain Canada · May 12, 2009, 09:07:07 PM

Looks like we have some reverse-gull wing action going on.....and lots more putty !

Cobra · May 12, 2009, 10:24:11 PM

Great Job,Captain

Why do i picture this Baby launching off a Catapult from a Coast Guard Vessel responding to an SOS?

? keep up the Great Work!!!!
