Need Some Paint Ideas for Custom Killer Whales

Well I have 4 Killer Whales that I have been accumulating parts for over the past couple of months. So what I'm basically looking for is Ideas for painting a couple of them. I already have a Tiger Force and Arctic Whale and 1 of the Whales is already being prepped for my Tiger Shark Theme like the Sharc Below. Now I need 3 more paint schemes to go on my other 3 Whales. The one Ideas I have gotten so far is to do a Whale in the Devilfish colors of Orange and Gray, but not sure how well that would work on a Whale. So if you have any paint ideas you would like to see on Whale post them here and Ill see if something strikes me.

Heres an example of the Tiger Shark Theme thats going on my first whale.

I'm sure orange/gray will be awesome.
Or a bit more coastguard like? Try Red and white.
Cobra Whale in Bugg colors, green and yellow.
Sky Patrol Whale could be hard..

You have already made the TF Whale, and there's no point making a Night Force Whale, but how about making a Whale for various subsets? Eco Whale with water guns, BF2000 Whale with "high tech" stuff, Ninja Force Whale with eh swords.

I like the Coast Guard idea. I'd definitely like to see that one. Keep the skirt black and paint the body white with the orange Coast Guard stripes. That would work really well.

The Devilfish colors would work too. Paint the skirt gray and the body orange and I think it would be okay. Use a darker orange though, not that Safety Orange they mark football fields with.

You could also do a Python Patrol scheme. Shoot one over to Python Viper and have him trick one out.

And a simple Cobra blue would be nice. Nothing fancy. Just blue body with black skirt and a big red Cobra sigil on the front.




Oh yeah, you could also offer one up to a guy that never had the Whale as a kid and would be interested in one now...

They are all in pretty bad shape, Everyone of them has some sort of discoloring and alot of the parts on most them have been broken at one time so they have been repaired with some super glue, which leaves a nasty white residue all over them. Thats why all these are going towards customs because they just arent good enough to put in a collection. The person I got most of them off of apparently left these sit in an attic or in the sunlight for while because the black skirts are almost a grey color and the green is almost a yellowish green. I did take some of the good parts off them to offer them up for trade though.

Coast guard sounds cool!

What about:
a Drednok Whale?--they remade Skyhawk and other vehicles, why not a whale?
a Slaughter Marauder whale--might not be as difficult since base color is a green?
a Pythonized Whale

and last but not least

SKY PATROL!

Prolly not that color scheme...but use the hot melt glue.

YOu could make a Carnage pattern Use Dark Grey, Gloss Black, and a Red with a webbed hot melt glue webbed mask

One of the ideas I came up with for the Wolf was a Cracked ice pattern...I've not worked it out..but I wanted to start with a Metalic Blue color then mask it off like you would for python Patrol...only with a crackley/lighting bolt pattern.

I like Silver, Navy Blue, and Yellow....they're the colors of the Area's Life Flight Helicoptors...but done with a proper fade and striping.they can be pretty good looking.

...and last but not least

SKY PATROL!

I was gonna say "Chrome that sucka!" but JB beat me to it.

I agree a Coast Guard version would be good and even sounds good, but I'd like to see somebody photoshop the paint scheme first to see what it would kinda look like.

How about a Action Force, Homeland Security, or NY/NJ Port Authority version? Maybe a new sub-team called 'Harbor Force' that patrols areas where the USS Flagg or Jane goes?

How about a Navy fireboat version? Paint it Navy gray and whip up a water turrets. The rocket pods could be used for signal flares while the depth charges could be used for deploying sealed HazMat containment stuff (like netting with bobbers to contain oil spills). The elevating side cannons become water cannons. The mini-bike can be replaced with a Corps jet ski.

How about a 'being repaired at the dock in the Everglades before Destro and Firefly steal it' version? Since you said these aren't complete one could be made to look like it was being fixed.

-Panels could be opened
-Something hot could be used to make bullet holes and sharp edges
-Paint small white circles on the skirt to simulate bicycle tube patches


I picked up an incomplete WHALE last year and have been wondering what to do with it. About a month ago I was looking through some Russian/Soviet War Machine type reference books and saw the Russian Navy is the world's leader in the use of combat hovercraft. I plan to turn mine into an Oktober Guard vehicle (surplus GIJOE stuff sold to foreign countries reference in the bio).

Iron Grenadier version, gold, black and grey.
Rescue version, red and white based on coast guard rescue choppa's.

How about just a plain gray one? Most of the Navy's boats are just plain gray anyway.

Ninja force that bad boy! Paint it bright colors and put a bunch of spring loaded missle launchers!

maybe make a whale capture by cobra-made crimson???? or paint it camo in any form??

Killer Mindwhaler!

Purple, black and silver, with some sexy flesh tone at the cockpit.

Like some have said:
Dreadnok
Bugg-alike
Destro
Sgt. Slaughter Marauder
Cobra blue

or:
Jungle camo (like Nunchuck, green with black stripes)
Black Dragon
Coil Trooper green + black + gold

Add some curtains to the inside and you could have a little place for Shipwrech and Cover Girl to stay while on liberty.
