Artitec ORCA Jaws Boat Model 2022 

Thanks! Quite hard to get hold of now. I"d love to do this again at a slightly larger scale. No kit as detailed as this, at any scale currently.

Me too!

A lot of amazing tracks besides the main theme. Goes for the Jaws 2 soundtrack too!

Thanks for the comment. It was quite a challenge and the first model boat I have ever done! To be honest my near vision has deteriorated in the past year, so I don't think I could do it without a magnifier or varifocals now. Do you have anywhere I can see your layout?

@@GrimWillows No, I'm afraid. It's set in Germany in Era 3 and is pretty big-it fills the biggest room in my apartment. I don't know how to post pictures to YT.

@@lawrencelewis2592 oh wow. Love that time period.

@@GrimWillows I think for most model railroaders the late steam and early diesel is always going to be popular. Here in North America that would be the late 1930s to 1960. In Europe that period lasted a lot longer. Same goes for cars on the streets- Lots of air-cooled VWs, but no VW Jettas.

Thanks. My first boat. Only done figures before. Mostly D&D paints!

Yeah I saw so many variations in replicas, when trying to make plans, a few years back. This model has (had?) an alternative waterline version for Railway dioramas.

Hopefully someone will release a larger kit one day. This is designed for a model railways.

The kit is only around 80 Euros. I really enjoyed making this and I took my time over the course of a month. Done mostly on Weekend afternoons, relaxing and catching up on podcasts. Not sure if i'd want to do it again at the same scale. If it was a larger scale I'd be tempted :)

Thanks :)

@@GrimWillows Merci beaucoup pour ta réponse🙏 , il me tarde de le recevoir

@@GrimWillows est ce que ça nécessite beaucoup d'outillage pour procéder au montage ?

@@cedriclachaise8325 très délicat, beaucoup de patience. Je n'avais pas d'outils corrects mais, avec de la patience, tout peut être réalisé

@@cedriclachaise8325 I used a scalpel on a cutting mat

The hull is solid resin :)

@@GrimWillows So the engine and full interior is actually there, just need a little imagination! Beautiful model!!

@@navelriver just wish they had a larger scale version. Such a good kit.

@@GrimWillows I am pleasantly surprised by the lasting popularity of this boat, particularly with the extreme detail modellers! Now to put your boat in a diorama!

Yes, it was only released last year.

@@GrimWillows Where at?

@@Mxulin I imported mine from Germany. That seller doesn't stock it anymore. Ebay is probably your best option.

You want to buy my model? It's not for sale. thanks though.

Thanks, I wish I'd done it with higher quality photos at the end! Are you in Europe? I think I imported mine from Germany to the UK. The only was I could find it As Artitec direct was always out of stock. I'll have a little browse in my emails to see where I purchased it from. There was no import fee, just a small fee (less than £5) with my bank for converting to euro.

I got mine from modellbahnunion dot com but they don't even have it listed now. You get results by google searching Artitec 50.143 (that is the model number) Usually comes up in smaller model railway shop stock. Most seem to be out of stock tho. Might get lucky with ebay but be wary of over priced sellers and high shipping costs. Might be an idea to contact artitecshop and ask if they intend to restock the item? Good luck :)

@@GrimWillows Thank you, I appreciate your response. Hopefully someday I will be able to get this kit. =-)

@@GrimWillows I am in the United States. Everywhere I look, this model is out of stock or sold out. I hope that they re release this kit someday. Thank you for sharing your build with us. It looks terrific!
