Cheers.
I'll get some better photos once I've sourced a more suitable background!

Well, there you have it!
Fun to do something different. I can see the flaws in the diver, the cage and the shark, but they look pretty decent from a couple of feet away!

The whole thing looks brilliant Daren; as you say, it's really different and a bit of fun!
Best wishes

There used to be a dive shop here in Adelaide that had a miniature diver in a shark cage on display. It was supposedly used in the film Jaws.
Nice to be seeing this just as the temps here hit 40c for four days in a row. Don't think I'll be swimming at the beach

Have you thought of displaying it in a fish tank?
I wish, that I knew what was doing!
Re: "You're gonna need a bigger boat...."
That has been suggested! I dunno how well acrylic paints would hold up to being immersed in water - probably not well, I imagine.

You wouldn't need to put water in it, you could line the tank with clear blue sticky back plastic sheet from an art shop, (or spray with clear blue paint )general rocket wrote:Have you thought of displaying it in a fish tank?
Excellent job Daz, it's nice to have some company out here in left field
btw, did you consider making a roughly half scale ( to make the shark a 25 footer ) cage with a wee Hooper and his spear in?

I did not.
