My entry for CCC X in the Winter Scene category. I am a bit disappointed on how the white looks on this one I tried a lot of things to get it right: change the lightning, change the background, change the angle of the camera but after a couple of hours, I said the $%/" with it and decided to keep the better looking pictures for the contest and scrap the rest. I have wasted enough time with this one.
Now, onto the MOC itself.
Whales were hunted in the Middle Ages as much for their fat as for their meat. It was a dangerous hunt. One dip in the icy water meant death in few minutes, maybe few seconds. But what a reward if hunting was successful ...
Mark of Falworth technique was very useful for this build. It helps create movement.

Thanks for looking and for your comments.

Re: Whale Hunting
I have a hunch as to what caused this problem. Did you use a digital camera?

Re: Whale Hunting
White and black are hard colors to photograph.
Still, This looks great!
Best of luck, man!

Re: Whale Hunting
I really like the smoothness of the whale in this build. I also like the barrel dragging behind one of the spears in the whales back, it reminds me of Jaws.
