Kitbash of sandy collora' shark hunter (tiburonera) kit.

Modifications: Opened mouth, beefed up biceps/triceps, added tail (left over from my kitbash of fewture Cthulhu kit and medusa kits)

I have two of these kits so included pics of both the unchanged kit and the bashed kit

Thanks. Here are some updates.

Definitely prefer your rendition. Open mouth make it look far more aggressive, it needed the upper arm muscle added and the tail balances it out nicely.

[barad_dur]

Thanks! I also gave him a bit more of an aggressive lean.

The shark hunter is one of my favorite kits .
Sandy Corolla did an awesome job creating this creature kit.

Couple updates.

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Both are great - but I have to say that (with all due respect to Sandy) - I prefer the kitbash!

Amazing work Joe

Thank you for the positive feedback. But Sandy deserves all the credit as he did an incredible job with this sculpt; the details are fantastic!!

My lack of photography skills do not do Sandy's work justice , or the paint job (which for once I am actually pretty happy with) that has much more color variations and contrast than shown in the pics. I spent hours dry brushing which brought out many of sandy's detailed sculpture work but regrettably are not shown in my poor photos.

I highly recommend this kit!

I would love to see what some of the awesomely talented painters in this clubhouse could do with this kit.

[barad_dur]

Done.

[marctassone]

Love the paint work great kit bash!

[barad_dur]

Added a base for each creature
Bases are heavily modified cemetery bases by JL Crinon and using woodland scenic realistic water

Water effects are looking mighty fine!

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Nice work with the bases Joe . . . I still prefer the greeny open-jaw guy to the browny closed-jaw one - but they both look very cool.

Great additions to your "Joe's build museum & workshop" home

Yeah, I'm with Spike - I would just add that I would probably like the brown guy better IF he had a tail (which would make him too similar to the first one to justify building two ...)

[barad_dur]

No changes , just hopefully better pics

[bucketfoot-al]

Great bashes, both of them! I especially like the green one, with the tail and the open mouth, he reminded me a little bit of the American Godzilla 98.

This brings to mind the obvious question, where are you displaying all of these new bashes that you're finishing? Photos of any new display areas would be welcome, so we can ogle them.

That's very modest of you. Most of us are rubbish at judging the quality of our own work. Anyhow until then your efforts are more than adequate.

Great sculpts both, though I'm with Vlad in preferring the green long-tailed creech with more aggressive lean.
