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!
Hi, thanks for your comment. I really appreciate you and all my subscribers. It’s going to get to you safe and sound. It’s a fun build and if you are a movie buff like me it will be such a joy to display. Cheers! Phil
a really stunning build Phil they all were, good job it's not a competition because it would be a draw, I don't think it would have been Diesel fuel in the tanks Phil, probably just water
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.
"Here's to swimming with bow legged women" 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... "Farewell Spanish ladies... and onwards to Space 1999 builds"
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…
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.
Absolutely beautiful and this was definitely thinking outside of the box. The execution and final result are exquisite
FABULOUS!! We love it! 👏🏻 Thank you for the kind words….much much appreciated!
Fantastic! Next Level Build!
Really excellent work you've done here. Love the whole diorama! The water looks fantastic. You've recreated this tense moment in the film superbly!
Impressive, most impressive!
Very good sir 👍.

Looks terrific. The next challenge can be scratch build an entire Amity Island!
you can't keep four barrels below the water, not 4 barrels you can't... Beee-yuuu-ti-ful work, my friend
Amazing Final!!! thoughts from Earth...lol
that is phenominal phil and absolutely fabulous well done. cant wait to see your new star ace medusa
Hasn’t arrived yet!
@@sprueVerse did you get yours direct from starace or somewhere in US ?
@sharkytampy I ordered it from Monsters in Motion! Perhaps that was a forced error?
@@sprueVerse oh okay. are you regretting it then
@sharkytampy nope - it’s just the way it rolls!

💯 RIP Boyd! Trekworks will live on in our hearts forever!
Amazing build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic model Phil , great build , now heading over to Lou then Wayne to check out there builds 👍👍
I haven't even edited mine yet
@WorldofWayneUK hurry up - next challenge starts in the morning!😂🎬
Love the video, Philip! Love the content on your channel! Keep up the good work👍

@@sprueVerse thanks Phil. I’d say Jaws is my number one movie of all time. And the making of it is a real lesson in determination and perseverance.
Flory's clay washes are available from an American distributer now.
The only model of Jaws i haven't seen is the orca in a bottle withJaws stalking below the waves.
a really stunning build Phil they all were, good job it's not a competition because it would be a draw, I don't think it would have been Diesel fuel in the tanks Phil, probably just water
The poor man is running out of room in his house and he builds something this big? he he... Nice project.
We're all knuckleheads in this hobby; just ask our spouses! 😂

Need teeth on the Clapper board...lol
The other Jaws kit represented the anatomy of a real shark not Bruce.

Beautiful
