Erik Leijdens

B. M.
This is supercool! Memories coming back.

Robert W Martel
That is cool,,,,unique.

Ben STONE
Nice one Greg

Greg Baker
Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun building this little baby. I think I may have overdone it a bit with the wavy white/black transition... and I forgot to add the gills. All in all though, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Mike Grant
Brilliant 👍

Nils Steyaert
looks fantastic, just like the one from the comic 🙂

Looks excellent Greg. It would be nice if you could get a scale figure of Tintin to stand proudly alongside.

Urban Gardini
Excellent mate but where's the mouth?

Christian Ristits
Very nice job, like it, but also missing the shark-mouth 😉

Roberto Rocat
Nice 👍

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Good work ,,,, congrats !!!! ... also missing the mouth 🙂

Martin R.
Turned out great! Congratulations! I like this inventive DIY stuff actually much more than - let's say - the umpteenth version of a Tiger...

Choppa Nutta
Love it !! 🙂

Greg Baker
Thanks a lot guys! That's some kind words from some modellers work/skills I respect very much! As for the mouth... it's there! You just can't see it well because I did forget to check where it would sit on the stand. It fits, barely, but it looks like he's biting the first support post. I added a bit of subtle (well, for me) panel lines, so I'll try to take some new pics that show off the mouth better. The only thing (AFIK) that I didn't do yet was the gills. I may do them as decals the next time I print some off. That will probably work better than trying to hand paint three straight lines...😉

Greg Baker
Oh Martin... if you like inventive DIY stuff... you should check out Whatifmodellers.com - there's some amazing builds there. I'm partial to the Fiat G.55 Centauro done up as Vatican City Air Force, complete with holy water bombs, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's my build thread as a link - whatifmodellers.com/..p/topic,43201.0.html

Uwe Kaeding
Great job Greg - definitely looks the part!

Martin R.
@Greg, I gotta check that site out, it seems just very interesting!

Mike Kryza
Crazy - 👍 🙂

Eugen P.
Crazy but nice 🙂

Spanjaard
i do not know why i did not comment on this one before... really nice transformation you did Greg, well done!

Greg Baker
Thanks! I'm quite proud of that crazy l'il fishey...😉

Spanjaard
as you should 🙂

Thomas Ehrensperger
Looks great 🙂 The body looks a bit like the fuselage of an Messerschmitt Me 262.

Patrick Hagelstein
So cool!!!

Greg Baker
Heh Thomas, that's because it IS the fuselage of an Messerschmitt Me 262! I used the Tamiya 1/100 kit as a donor to make a 1/72 sub. You can see how I scratchbuilt it into the Tintin Shark Submarine in my build log - Red Rackham's Treasure (Shark Submarine) | Album by strobez (1:72)

Thomas Ehrensperger
cooooool... I like shars and I like the Me 262.... so I like this also very much 🙂 Great Work and thanks for the link to the making of.

Nils Steyaert
amazing work 👍

Eelco Gregoire
Lovely, I love Tintin!

Greg Baker
Thanks guys. I actually think it was one of Nils' builds that gave me the idea in the first place. 🙂

Björn Svedberg
What a great project and nice end result. I love it!

Dan Cook
Love this! Great bit of model making!

Tom ...
So cool!!! Simply fantastic! Put a big smile on my face.
