Their gonna need a bigger boat. Couldn’t resist.
Sorry Mate !
I owe you a Pint !
Oh Brudder !
Now , what are they gonna do with that critter ? Yeah I know about those type of sharks . Been told that They is always hongry ! Didn’t believe it .
Went diving one day and only lost a fin . Kept the foot but barely , It was a close one . One hit a poor sod further down the coast . He didn’t make it . Darned near bit him in half!
Gotta say Peter , You keep going and you’ll be known for your humor too . Nother awesome build !
Get him a Victoria Bitter, he’s worth it [:)]
Aha !Cap’n Mac !
Amen to that !
[:D] I don’t think they will ever haul in a big shark again.
Thanks T.B.
We have shark lines just out pass the breakwater along our beaches. Orange buoys mark where the baited lines are. Once a shark is caught, a wireless alarm is triggered. A trawler then comes out to take the shark into deeper waters several kilometers from the shore, and released. Last week while sightseeing the beaches I saw a Bull shark, next to an orange bouy, leap out of the water and twisting in the air, as if trying to unhook itself. It was a big shark, about 8-9 feet.
Thanks CapnMac82.
I used to drink that stuff once.
Muz’s health, of late, has deteriorated drastically (cancer). He and his wife have relocated to live with family. All our friends most probably won’t be seeing Muz again.
Muz, and other road cyclist friends have asked me to add cyclists to the bridge diorama. I had not been able to find any road racing cyclist, or bicycle, models at 1/72 scale as of yet. So I have been delaying to make a model myself. Muz’s condition urged me to give it a go, so I asked him to send me an email of him and his bike, so I can add him to the diorama. He will be waving goodbye.
That’s a great tribute. Nice work on Muz.
Very poignant and very cool.
Also, fantastic modelling work on the bike.
Bravo.[Y]
Great stuff…well done!
Peter ;
That is as nice a tribute to a friend as I have ever seen . I hope someone does one of me at my bench at the Museum when I leave here .
It’s hard to lose friends , especially long time ones . At my age it happens to often . Good on you mate ! !
Peter ;
The biggest problem with Bulls is that they will strike anything and they can survive well in Brackish and Fresh water for a time too . That part is what makes them dangerous in ways a great White or Hammerhead are not .
The last hammerhead I saw was attacked by a smaller White .The white got a mouthfull of the hammerhead’s head on one side .We got out of the water instantly then . Can you say feeding frenzy ?
The White shot in from nowhere that day . The " H " head and his ( or her ) buddies had been hanging around for a while . Didn’t bother any of us except a Brush - By every once in a while .
Sad to say .If we as a group of nations don’t curtail Shark hunting for fins , they won’t be around long . All in their own way are Beautiful predators !
Thank you @modelcrazy, @mmthrax, @sharkbait, and @Tanker-Builder for your kind comments.
Will get back to this build shortly. Had a break by building something different, the U-2540 sub with interior.
The shire council snuck in a floating wharf while I was away.
Glad to see you back Peter.
Yeah, welcome back!
Where have you been?
Looking forward to more progres here!
