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 :shock:

Have you thought of displaying it in a fish tank? :ha:
I wish, that I knew what was doing!

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 )

Excellent job Daz, it's nice to have some company out here in left field :-D

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. I don't think my skills are quite up to your standard!
