Agora Models 1/16 Scale Orca

This one's for @kevin
I took a couple of scraps of paper from cutting all of the beer can labels apart (if I never do that again, it'll be fine with me) and made a couple of "Styrofoam" cups for Hooper to crush.

I also cut all of the decal labels apart in prep for putting them onto the Millput cans in the next day or two.

Nice work, sure looks like a crumpled coffee cup!

WtShark, don't use up all your quotes at once....I got a feeling this build thread still has a long way to go!

Ha, I could pretty much quote the entire movie, though to your point, there are better ones and low hanging fruit.

... Love the fabrication.

Decals applied to the Milliput sticks, the crushed cans.
The decals settled pretty well into the uneven surfaces of the crushed cans, thanks to Micro-sol.
I'll let them dry/set over night and cut the sticks into cans in the next day or two.
I've got around 20 cans, which is probably more than I'll be able to stage around the Orca, but it's a good number, and frankly, how many do I really need?

how many do I really need?

Unless they be throwing them overboard, at least as many as in a case of that period.
They look fantastic by the way.

We forget how much norms change over time.
As a kid in the sixties, I didn't think my folks drank a lot, but if there was a party, seemed like every other guy showed up at the door with a case of 24 of them stubbies.

I was just happy that there would be plenty of ripple chips and dip the next day!
And Planters in the peanut bowl! Maybe even Cheezies!

And ashtrays full of butts to empty!!
