      'Aquashark' prototype is still in the sanding stages.

      Hello all,

      My mold maker is making progress with 'Aquashark'. He is currently at the sanding stage of the intermediate prototype shark. There is lots to be done to fix mine as it was damaged substantially from some kind of plastic melt on the body and areas of the teeth. He is making it as perfect as it can be along with the adjustments so that the production sharks won't be mistaken for original ones. The primer he has used on it is taking a bit longer to cure hard enough to sand so the process to get it to the polishing stage is being delayed a few days.

      I will update everyone just as soon as I get word from him that he has moved on to the polishing stage. Hopefully then he will finally allow me to show pics of the intermediate shark that will be used for the production molds. Until then I can only update everyone with a description. More to follow soon so stay tuned!

        'Aquashark' prototype in progress pic

        Well, here ya go......first pics of the prototype shark. My mold maker friend sent this to me and gave me the 'go ahead' to post it. There is still some minor priming and sanding left to do but it's nearly ready for the final molds. Thanks for everyone's patience and understanding while we eek toward the finish line on this project......we're almost there! More to follow soon including alternate pics of the in-progress prototype shark as seen below.....stay tuned!

                Is the repro box on ebay the one you are using for this project?

                      That is nice. It looks really professional.
                      If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                                I have been following this thread off and on since the beginning. I must admit at first like most I was skeptical. It looks like the project is really starting to take shape now. I like what I see so far. Keep up the great work!
