Thanks to all for looking and commenting. So much great art on this forum. Cool people here, very inspirational. The Jaws model was scratch built except for the boat and the two figures.  thanks again

GET OUTTA HERE!! Man, that's beautiful! Can I convince you to post some more pics of that, and maybe tell us the process for making it?? Just the water itself is sheer artistry.

Ditto! Nice work. Love the detail work on the Phantom's face, glad you showed a close-up!

Thanks Scatter, I will take some more pictures of it in the next few days and post them. I suck at photography tho. I sculpted the shark with sculpy and found a model ship that was as close to the Orca as I could get. Made a wood box about 2 inches high.  I positioned the boat and shark and poured plaster level with the sides. As the plaster started to dry a bit I took a teaspoon and dabbed the bottom of the spoon in the plaster to create the waves and dragged it a bit around the boat and fin to create ripples.   I airbrushed the water with different shades of aqua, blue, and white and cleared it with automotive clear with a mini spraygun,actually any can clear will work,but the auto clear has a very wet look, Even 20 years later. Quint and Brody were plastic baseball player figures that came in a bag of 20 like the army men .  Just had to modify and paint .
