Whale for 28mm Pirates

[Centaur_Seducer]

Still, we others want an id on the whales maker

[Gutbukkit]

I had a brief search and this whale appeared in an Animal Planet play set and a set called Deep Sea Adventure, I think both had same contents just rebranded. Found it on eBay for a hefty price so I'm on look out for alternatives (found a cheapish humpback I'm thinking of using).

Brilliant work again Mr 15mm! I wish we had swap meets like that in this country!

 Don't know where, don't know when,
 But I know Whale Meat again, some sunny day."

Thanks for all the kind words.  My swap meet is a weekly adventure.  I'm lucky to have it.  joroas, those are certainly words to live by and I will keep them in mind throughout this new year.  As to the origins of the whale, all I have is what was stamp and printed on the underside of the toy.  It had a decal that said Toys 'R' Us 5f5E2BF  22711.  And the plastic was stamped with the words CHAP MEI CHINA  CE.  My guess is the decal saying Toys 'R' Us is an indication that it went to other companies as well.  It's a great sculpt and I'm glad I lucked into it.  Happy New Year to all.  The first  swap meet of 2014 is only four days away.  Richard

Playmobil has an alternative (although the jaw is too wide):

Cheers Michi. I have a look out on eBay for one of those.

nervisfr, that looks great.  Did you say who made the whale?  As you might guess, I also love 15s.  Richard

Sorry richard ,
but i found them in a "made in china" sea animals bag with sharks, 1 octopussy, 1 crab etc....
All the animals were in solid plastic except the whale that was soft one.
 I cut the tail for a sunking whale in the game.
 Every animal has one body (like the picture), a tail and a "blowing counter".
 I used as rule engine the irrregular set of rules for prehistoric and pulpy adventure for the animals.

Thanks nervisfr.  I'll keep my eyes open.  Nicely done.  Richard

Some great looking whale conversions - with all the FIW whale boats around the possibilities are boundless.

For those in Australia you can view the 2011 Moby Dick miniseries:

Not a bad interpretation of the book.
