This pegasus great white looks exactly like the real shark. i mean the face, the eyes, jaw just everything. the scale between the model and the cage is facination, but when a great whit would be 20 feet, that was scary as hell, when you see one of them beneath the water.

I reckon Bruce got darker the longer he spent in the water. Yours is a work of art. Its Jawsome. Bruce Rulz the shark movie world. I have ordered the 19" Stannarts version as well. Can't wait for mine to turn up. .🤞 before Xmas. Love the Jowles on Bruce. Will add stuff to mine as well. Will add some barnacles & harpoon & maybe some bullet holes from Brodys gun. Thinking of how to set it up in display case. I have the NECA Hooper & his cage. So maybe the underwater scene attacking the cage. And have just ordered a Orca 19" model. Or launching onto Transom of the Orca. Or just swap it around.

That is gonna be awesome! Best of luck with it all and ENJOY the build and paintwork! It is always fun! And I am jealous of the ORCA you are getting! I have the old McFarlane scene, with Bruce on the back of the boat with the shark etc., That for now is my Orca. It is a nice upper deck area, and works for me. But, it is not like a real boat model. Have fun! And please share it with us when you are done! I stand by excited to see your finished works!

BEAUTIFUL! I am so happy for you, I was on the verge of tears throughout this video! I am 60 years old, and when I saw the movie, I too was obsessed with the shark - but I would draw it. I am a very creative type, and I’ve made models throughout my life. Due to a very serious car accident 40 years ago, I am unable to make them anymore - but I find other ways to express my creativity. Whatever the case, I absolutely LOVE what you’ve done with your model, and all of the subtle intricacies you described, as that would be EXACTLY how I would be! I pay attention to the smallest of details of what I do that most people would never notice, so I can relate perfectly to your art form.

Thank you for your very kind words. I appreciate personal stories from folks, and I so feel your frustration at not being able to do what you want now. Let my eyes and hands fulfill the dreams we both have! I spent SO many years wanting a good Bruce. You would think I would have made one. I thought about it. But when this one finally came out, I saw in it, my dream figure/model/statue, and with that, I put all I had into it! I am very honored at your kind words! Please keep watching out as maybe time (And NECA!) will allow for more cool Bruces to be produced for us all to get! It's only been 50 years! That's not nearly enough time for us! lol! Rock on! Your friend in JAWS always! Les

I totally agree with you Sir. the first comic book I saw being a little kid was "10 nights of the Beast" from the great late JIM APARO, I have the DC Direct statue, but I think lacks the Aparo style, I really hope Mr. Mcfarlane finally surprise us with a 80s' 90's classic BATMAN, because the figure from Knightfall is not Aparo style either. Best Regards from Chile.

Wow! From Chile! I am so honored! Thank you so much! Yes, I agree. I am so tired of figures that are close, like mine, I admit, but close, but not really THE STYLE of those great comics I remember from my youth! I loved that Batman, and remember thinking, how are they gonna make this guy cool in a movie? Well, they did change him, and he was cool, but he was WAY off from what I knew. Let's see if Todd and company can find the formula for a great set of figures! Not just one, Aparo for sure, but all those great artists from that era! I so dream for a real Marshall Rogers Batman!

Hi I got this Kit can you make both Turrets it looks like you can
@LesWalker2023 15 күн бұрын
Yes and no. What I did, was committed to the Henschell turret, so all the interior parts, including a lot of non-repeating parts, big thing, are used in that turret. For the Porsche turret, "spare" turret, I scratch built parts, some vent covers, the hatch area including the periscopes, the lifting rings, etc. I was committed to having SOMETHING as a spare turret. But no, the kit does not come with complete parts for both. It is an either/or choice thing. Which kinda sucks. So, for the money, I was danged sure gonna have something to show for the spare one. Sad eh? Truth is also, that the hatch and other parts for the P turret, are often smaller than the H turret versions. They COULD have made both sets. One more sprue tree....one more. I would act accordingly. If you can scratch build, go for it. If not, decide up front which turret you want for sure. And the mount for the 88 on the spare has to be scratch made, as there is no cage and no back end of the cannon to work with, just one set of parts and that leaves no spare means to mount it. I was a plastic bending/crafting fool to get that thing to work. That's why I painted it's interior the red-brown primer color, as opposed to the off-white. Hope that helps. Best of luck! Give me a holler if you need ideas. I am here for you if you do!

I completely enjoyed this series and your passion. I’m a huge collector and model builder as well, as a kid I’d make cardboard planes, dinosaurs, aircraft Carriers and sharks etc. I’ve built/painted the Quint attack sculpt by Bill Wieger. I was looking at this version.. and can say that your video has made me decide to pull the trigger on this one too!😊. I’ve been wanting a mechanical version for my collection. Love Vallejo paints as well. The video series was awesome and I love how you added a personal background story as well. I remember vividly seeing this movie at age 10 in the Theater a week after it came out. Lines around the building and my best friend saw it before I did and told me scene by scene the whole story prior…. but we didn’t care about “spoilers” as kids. I remember wishing they had an accurate “toy” Shark or model that looked like the movie shark. Never came….You’re right, it took more than two score seven years plus years to even get accurate models of Bruce. Well…3D printing helped out a lot…I have been waiting for Neca to release their version to finally have a “toy” version….maybe at the 50th anniversary?? Thanks for posting such a heart felt series. Looking forward to your next Jaws addition.

@ I’ve never really enjoyed the Batman films. The Burton / Keaton films were more style than substance. The “realistic” tale of the Nolan films were better & I like most of it to a degree. The Pattinson Batman is just awful. The Penguin show was very good though. The one scene in Batman vs. Superman where Batfleck fought a group of guys was the best rendition of Batman onscreen. I want more of that, a “super ninja” Batman that’s the ultimate fighting machine. No more boring street level bad guys, put Clayface, Killer Croc & Man-Bat in the films so we can see SUPER HERO Batman & not crime noir Batman that’s already been done.
