DH Vampire of 112 Sqn (decals for this real one easily obtainable) but add Vampire Teeth ;D

I have other ideas, but I won't include the "Bat Out Of Hell" C-47 with a Bat's open mouth scabbed on, as that's nearly finished. It'll be at Milton Keynes next Sunday.

"Bat Out Of Hell" C-47 Batdak is finished...USAF Korean War, CIA operated, on its base and article written and sent to Narses. Photos soon. :wacko:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Found a picture of what I'll do....I'll scan it later!

So... what are the rules on entering actual sharks?

Once upon a time, many moons ago, I saw a rather nifty air brushed painting which combined the front end of a shark with the back end of a Corvette Stingray... worked pretty damn well.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

I once did a Sea Harrier on a Black Burnt Shark ;D

I scanned the picture but the file was too big to post...basically it was an E-Boat with a big sharkmouth on the bows. Thinking of doing something similar to an MTB or something. :party:

Of course, a shark mouth (and colours!) would be good on an Me 262 :thumbsup:

And then there's the re-eqipment of 112 Sqn :banghead:

Was the the Airfix E-boat or the Revell S-100. In fact I think a sharks mouth on an S-100 would look seriously sexy. Mind if I borrow the idea Rad?

Go ahead, mate. I agree, on an S-100 it'd look amazing. I've been looking online for a picture but can't find one. It was on the front cover of a Warlord comic.

Rules? 

Only one rule. 

That your model subject incorporate a mouth, beak, lips, snout, eyes, ears, or any combination of these as markings or add-on features.  So technically you could enter a model with Mr. Potato Head features if you chose to do so.  Otherwise it is pretty much left to what decals or hand painted features you can add to your model.  The model subject can be a figure, animal, ship, car, armor vehicle, or aircraft/spacecraft. 

So if you have a model shark and you can arm it with a LASER, you are definitely in. 

How is that for a rule?

Carefully and from behind.  Oh, and it's probably illegal anyway!
