yes and quite easy to do. Kudos for scale-a-thon for this technic. Its a bit more fragile than resine tho, but I really like the effect.

Outstanding. Impressive and great work, but why did you repainted the shark? in that grey it looks a bit unrealistic
![](/profiles/img/72572-306-s.jpg)
the puppet from the early movie is all grey on top and grey white under. Since we only see the top of the shark for the diorama, it may look all grey, but under its a bit more pale, but yes, I should have paint it a bit more obvious maybe. I needed to repaint it cause I wanted to close the gap from the mouth. It also looks more like a toy without the paint and got too many color that dont fit the color of the shark in the movie.

Agreed. This is amazing! 👏👏 What skills you have 👍 LOVE this! And imo much better than the sequel! 😉

I don't know the movie, but I like your realistic diorama 👍
Can some one help the pilot please? He looks so scared!
![](/profiles/img/78784-523-s.jpg)
Well, the shark's already there to help him out of the downed chopper. 😄
![](/profiles/img/72572-306-s.jpg)
there is a cut scene where Jaws is attacking the pilot stuck under the sea..I think it was cut as its obvious its not the same actor lol

My mates said it all already, but this is just great stuff. Love it from A to Z.
![](/profiles/img/51882-275-s.jpg)
What a lifelike, dangerous scene it is! May I ask those alum. foil making for? 👍
![](/profiles/img/72572-306-s.jpg)
Just regular aluminium paper. I follow the tutorial of scale-a-thon, but add some green clear and some wave effect product from woodland scenics: Youtube Video Its very easy to do. Sea blue is very dark, so you may want a more pale color if you want something looking less ''deep sea".

Phil: Thank you very much really! I have watched it just now, and it's very helpful! Replay & learning... 😉
![](/profiles/img/102691-453-s.png)
I am amazed!
An overwhelming dio 👌
An interesting topic and very good craftsmanship
![](/profiles/img/25292-311-s.jpg)
Wow, this is outstanding!
The work on the water, the used models (i've never saw and thought they exist!). Awesome.

My diorama is going to be featured in Tamiya Model Mag #324 october issue !!!! I feel like a playmate of the month!!! haha !!!!
![](/profiles/img/41967-490-s.jpg)
And rightly so!
Congratulations on becoming playmate of the month 😆
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Congratulation 👍
I took the opportunity to click through the album again in its entirety. What a wonderful job on a dynamic scene! The question marks immediately appear in the viewer's mind: What happens now? Does the rotor bend?
I am looking forward to the next ideas and projects!
![](/profiles/img/10148-258-s.jpg)
I congratulate and rejoice with you - highly deserved! I also agree with bughunter's comments. What an idea to realise this film scene - and you have made a real and true masterpiece out of it!
![](/profiles/img/13010-177-s.jpg)
Incredibly, that's what I call great cinema, more can not be said about this top work, really ❤️️ it
![](/profiles/img/11448-518-s.jpg)
Wow...just wow. Amazing idea...amazing execution. Worth to be in a Magazine.👌👌👌

I've been wanting for a long time to create this diorama, as I love this scene from jaws 2 when I was a kid. Its so over the top. So I bought an old MRC kit for the bell helicopter HTL-4 (1:35), I think its made by Academy now. I found the real helicopter from the movie (Hughes 269B) but it was too expensive and a bit out of scale. the MRC instructions are really weird and difficult to follow, its easy to forget pieces or skip some steps. I didnt use all the detail form the engine (too fragile) but add some wires in the cockpit. I found a shark figure and a vietnam helicopter pilot (better figure for the dio than the one in the kit). I saw a video from scale-a-thon "How to Make a Realistic Ocean Diorama Base" on youtube. Perfect technic, as I didnt want to waste a lot of resin to build the dio. I had some "water wave" effect from Woodland scenics. Really glad of the result.
