My tribute sculpt to 'Jake The Alligator Man'...

[Monster Bob]

[Dr. Jitters]

Very cool!  That's a  true curiosity.

He looks so good next to that water! You've done a great job creating a lifelike character    If I didn't know any better, I would think that he is 8 feet long! Beautiful details on this miniature fellow.

I dig it. Got a lotta love for good ole' Jake!

Bob- That is fantastic!
Is he 1/1 scale?
He reminds me very much of the stunt Jake used for personal appearances.

[Monster Bob]

No, Gill, he is 'Son of' Jake, or Jake in miniature, shown here about actual size on a 20" monitor. He's about 8"-9" long.

Bob, I don't know what the backstory on this guy is, but this is one strange, beautiful & accomplished piece. As charp suggests, the image is so razor sharp it looks like it's in full scale.

Jake is perhaps the most famous alligator man around today!

Meeting Jake

Here's a pic of the real Jake.


Because of his age and fragility, a stunt Jake was created to make personal appearances.

Stunt Jake is shown in the pic with teh shirt on. The easy way to tell them apart is the teeth. Stunt Jake has better teeth.

Seems like a good guy.
