    Hi Phil, just an incredible perspective and build. It was so great you included all of the references from the book during the build. And the "less is more" cinematography, as well as the incredible engineering that went into the Bruce shark animated prop. No wonder it had some mechanical issues being quite complex. A great piece that helps explain the production aspect of the move.🙂

    Let’s take a moment to reflect on Boyd Crompton from Trek Works. Like Sprueverse, another motivating force with his inspirational and knowledgeable videos for the modeling community. He passed away last night from cancer.

    That’s a really inventive design Phil. Most people might have reached for the resin pour but I love the underwater effect you’ve achieved.
    I’ve got my Bruce in order and hopefully not too long to wait now. I also hope it makes it to the uk in the right amount of pieces!
    Great job. I admired Uncle Lou’s bravery in submerging the mouth but for me you have to display those teeth!

    Looks good even with Quint being off scale. It makes it look like a man being attacked by a real shark rather than a movie monster. Of course a real shark would never sink the back end of the Orca. But it makes a cool looking project.

    I'm not sure where to start or which superlative would sum up just how much love you seem to have poured into this challenge-cum-build. So many different methods of model building have come together to form one very visually stunning piece.
    Job extremely well done...

    Ah yes… that famous moment when Quinn fights a Regular-Sized shark!
    There’s No Way he could Ever be swallowed!
    I bet that would have greatly helped the positioning issue!
    Nice work though…

  • @MrChief101

    Every detail is really well done-- scale issues aside... (though I wonder if a 3D Quint is not available in this post Broadway Show era-- ?). The collaboration with Mr. Fink is well worth the effort. I agree with most of your decisions about using lighter colors on the inner shark.
    Here's where I have to get picky. It can't all be rosebuds strewn in moonbeams... I find the boxy top o' the water and under the water to be interesting but still odd. What I think that decision did was to lead down the wrong path for the "eating Quint" angle. What I don't "see" and no matter what you say about that's how they actually shot the scene-- the chomped ship set doesn't look right 5 feet off the water. That "dock" or whatever it's supposed to be-- doesn't sit in the water. It's just there. Nothing supports it from below. So it looks odd.
    And there it is-- "odd!"
    In the stills you showed, the set looks awash with water. At the waterline and not up in the air. Now-- you may say, well, that particular shot in the movie *was* indeed shot on a dock, elevated in the air. Yes, but we are seeing the moment in time "smeared" if you will, over a short length of time. The overall impression is of the shark attacking the back of the boat. Which, with Quint's feet in water was... in the water.
    Now-- if you have a set shot where the shark is airborne out of the water and the boat is up there with him-- show us!
    Mind you, this is to take nothing away from the total effect. Nor the level of skill at work here-- water effects are terrific, the color pallets of the shark and boat are similarly terrific. Even with my carping (--he said "CARPing"!!!) the display is impressive. I do like the 10K inkie -- there's one pic where that wash of light really pops the shark. I do suggest the clapper board be moved down to one side. Credit is great but that thing's huge.

    The fig looks out of scale. He's too big. The shark in Jaws was a huge shark and Quint would have been swallowed whole if he hadn't been bit into on the way down.
