neilm Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share #31 Posted February 4, 2021 Many thanks, so confusing as these shots show same dia. I feel it would look ascetically better thinning halfway up but these pics seem not to. 😩 sferoida and Bettina 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintergreen Posted February 5, 2021 Share #32 Posted February 5, 2021 It IS kind of an unusual boat anyway. I'd say follow the crowd, i.e. no taper. You have photographic evidence to support your choice. But it is always good to sit back, do a bit of web-trawling and ponder over alternatives 😉 Keep it up! neilm 1 Quote Happy modelling!

FlyingFish Posted February 6, 2021 Share #34 Posted February 6, 2021 Your shots are from two different models (although the first of Eric Hollander's boat shows the fantastic detail he modelled). The original was not the same. Some thoughts from my research on this which may help... The mast is an addition to Warlock (the original Orca) by the production team, so is probably taken from another boat, and possibly shortened. It was oval, not round, roughly 6" by 8" at the base, and not tapered, although it looks as if it gets rounder at the top. If you are using Pat Tritle's plan, he has the mast some way from the pilot house, whereas the original was against the aft wall, and strapped to the pilot house roof. There are lots of details of the mast from the movie, most consistent, but the lights shown here below Quint's feet were only seen in some shots, so maybe for filming. As you'll read from my blog it is possible the mast was offset from the centreline; (count the deck planks) which presents a bit of a dilemma for the modeller!

FlyingFish Posted February 6, 2021 Share #35 Posted February 6, 2021 This one shows it getting round at the top, but is from Orca II - assume this was the same as Orca I..

Rik Thistle Posted February 6, 2021 Share #36 Posted February 6, 2021 FlyingFish, Your pics have now got me wanting to watch the movie again 😉 I've probably watched it at least half a dozen times over the years but (in my mind) it's a classic that ticked a lot of boxes ie great script based on a fairly simple but powerful story line, exciting and scary, three lead actors at the top of their game and great cinematography.

neilm Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share #37 Posted February 6, 2021 Thank you Flying fish. Really helpful.

Wintergreen Posted February 14, 2021 Share #41 Posted February 14, 2021 Coming together nicely Neil. Looks like you've served the pulpit with a thin thread? Spot on how it looks i real life. The wheel on my sailboat was served when I bought it and it looked just the same. You may, however, want to dab the serving with diluted white glue or something to take away the fuzziness of the thread. Keep it up! mtaylor and neilm 1 1 Quote Happy modelling!
