Hello Everyone, First time posting here, not sure why!, great site. Here is a kit that started out as the Sand Shark. With just a couple hours of surgery to remove unwanted plastic and adding a few strips of Evergreen plastic it started to look like the Dog Catcher. Decals were supplied by Pegleg Bob, they are great, they lay flat, no curling on the edges, and no flaking of the ink even after repeated positioning. I am still hacking away at the dog but in a few days, I hope to have him completed. I have added a few of the dog catcher tools, a net and catch pole to the side of the body. Great kit, they need to reissue this one sometime in the future.      |

Yes Al, modifications were not that bad after the initial cutting. Don't get me wrong, all custom work does add hours to the build, but these were pretty straight forward, not much putty and nothing at all to do on the lower body.
