FigureFrenzy 293 Pike, Salmon, Reef shark, White shark

It's been a while, but we're going all fish today! A couple of sharks, and a couple of freshwater fish, both Protacanthopterygiians (and also both from Replica Toy Fish). Overall a good day for fish. FameMaster Great White Shark A pretty decent Great White Shark model for a 3D model puzzle. Too bad the seams are so obvious. The diver is about 1:72, so it can work for the figure. We're going to start with the biggest fish (although not…
