Default Walrus Collector Looking for Kits

Dear all,

I realize my interests have deviated over the years from 'traditional' airplane modeling (I used to do planes, helicopters, derby cars, etc). I am now constructing and detail-painting walruses of all types and sizes. The reason I post this here is because at my local shop Sturgess', they highly recommended this forum (I can see why now). I just want to say for the record that I DO NOT ACTUALLY PAINT WALRUSES OR USE ANY MATERIALS FROM WALRUSES FOR MY MODELS, but am looking for any tips from experts on where I might find any kits that would fit my specifications.

Thank you for your time and understanding,

Lewis

The British flew Walruses during WWII, but they only came in one size... I suggest if you're painting models of the animal, try painting clams. I had a girlfriend who had her clam painted, said it was a lot of fun...

Hopefully it was water based paint. Could you imagine if the so-called 'clam' was tattoed?

There' something fishy about this thread...I just can't seem to put my finger on it.
