Cool Beans!

Replacement logo stamps arrived

Just a quick note to let everyone know that my mold maker has received the new replacement logo stamps and he'll be adding these to replace the original Mego logo on the prototype shark real soon. I've also asked for more photos of the shark when he gets a chance. Soon as I hear from him with new pics I'll be sure to post them here. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Stay tuned.....more to follow soon!

Rest assured my friend the updates will continue

Great news. I've been following the progress and look forward to more pics!

Clearly he was paying MSRP and tipping them for rust proofing!

Actually my last few cars have been Saturns........Excellent product at an excellent price.....no haggling necessary......like that old adage, "you get what you pay for". *SIGH*.....I miss Saturn.....one of the many tragedies of this current economy.

Man, where were you when I was selling cars?

I've never asked anyone to lower their price on anything ever.

Now we are talking turkey! (or sharks as the case may be)

Maybe we can swing this back to focusing on a great project....and just enjoy this from that aspect. If you dont want to purchase...cool. But I am loving seeing the pictures etc....SO COOL!

With all this talk about JAWS....aside from not wanting to take a bath.....wish we had some Character Heads from the movies. One step at a time.

As you said Grasshopper....."One step at a time"........

With that being said I think you and I share an astute perception for the obvious for what may very well be a future destination for Aquashark..........

Frankly, it's pretty much irrelevant why you told him that his project was dead; circumstances don't make your statement "the shark is dead" any less mean-spirited.

If you are all offended that someone points out you are being mean when you threaten a project they've spent a ton of time and money on, then maybe you should have chosen your words more carefully.

I have been born and raised in Florida....and every time I hear about a shark somewhere in Florida....it is not some tiger or nurse shark....in my mind it is 20 foot Great White with a mouth big enough to swallow a Yugo!

"25...........three tons of 'em!" "This shark.....swalla ya whole......a little shakin', a little tenderizin' n' down ya go."

Looking forward to more updates....it is a great project. Looking foward to seeing the final piece and getting one. Thanks for the hard work.

With regard to Jaws/Bruce....that first one scared me so bad...I was looking for sharks in the POOL!!!

Oh man you and me both. I saw JAWS when I was 4 and it is one of my earliest recollections. I grew up in Florida and my grandparents had a huge 18' x 38' pool in their backyard. I had lots of fun with my Aquaman VS The Great White Shark set by recreating scenes from JAWS with it.....such fond memories. Of course I was convinced that Bruce was gonna get me one day and as soon as the sun began to set I was out of the pool faster than an Olympic high jumper, LOL.

I remember a few years back when my wife and I vacationed in Destin, Florida I was looking around everywhere hoping not to see any sharks since this is where they filmed most of the water scenes for JAWS 2. I guess these kinds of things have a way of staying with you forever. Still it is one of my favorite movies.....right up there with Superman and Superman 2: The Donner Cut. JAWS is a classic and the movie was much better than the book IMHO......thank you Steven Spielberg! Even though I have it on DVD I still watch it every time it comes on TV....."Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!"

New logo stamp for Aquashark has been sent to mold maker today 5.24.11

Please bring back the updates. A lot of folks on here have enjoyed the progress of this project. I am fascinated by this project and look forward to getting one of the Aquasharks when they are available.

Rest assured my friend the updates will continue.....today I sent the mold maker the stamps I had made by a local printing company to embed in the body of the shark most likely in the underbelly between the pectoral fins. I had our names created to read right when looking at the stamp with raised lettering (this is how it reads: reevefan78 & SCO © 2011). My friend will imbed the base of the stamp flush with the body of the shark so that the letters will be raised above the sharks' 'skin' surface. I thought this would provide us with the easiest way to have a very professional new logo stamp with our information clearly set (or rather embossed) on the shark(s) to keep our shark distinguishable from the 'real McCoy'.

It has been raining in my friends 'neck of the woods' this week so he's waiting till the rains stop so he can prime the shark again. Since he does this outdoors the process is dependent upon good weather. He's still goin' for that beautiful 'showroom shine'. More to follow soon.....stay tuned!
