Hi, I just want to show my building progress for some of the fabulous sea animals of the Chinese (Taiwanese?) book "Make my own ocean animals".
In the book, you get what you see in the first pic, 2 clownfish, 2 butterfly fish, 1 seahorse, 1 caretta turtle, 1 whale shark, 1 orca, and 1 fiddler crab (the best of the bunch, IMHO).
Seems that they put the animals in crescent order of difficult, and none is in actual scale (the smaller ones are scaled up, and the bigger ones, logically scaled down).
I was looking for this book for years, but was unable to understand Chinese to order it, but some time ago I found a site called Yes Asia, with English text, so I could order mine.
I made scans of all sheets, so if I mess something, I will be able to try again (please, don't ask for a copy).
The second pic shows the whale shark parts already cut, almost ready to build, I still need to score some tabs before to build it.
I will post more progress pics as soon as possible.
I plan to build them all, although I'm thinking about to scale down all the smaller ones to 1:1 scale, so I can build a scenary...
