    Amazing diorama

    Such a perfect recreation of the mechanical shark in Jaws as we know as "Bruce". I loved creating mine from start to finish. After I received the raw materials I meticulously built it, primed it and painted it along with a few customizations. Its a magnificent mantle/desk piece measuring in at close to 20 INCHES! If your a fan like me, save some money and buy yourself this beauty, you deserve it!

    Bruce arrived this afternoon safe and intact and it is truly a work of beauty! it was well worth the wait and coincidentally arrived just in time for my Birthday tomorrow, lol. So, while it may have taken awhile, it makes for a great Birthday present to myself.


    I could certainly tell from the various photos I've seen it was a great-looking piece when all finished up by you, but it is genuinely even better in person. I'm very familiar with mechanical Bruce and the sculpt and paint job and detail are dead on. It's so well done.

    Bruce has arrived and I am so impressed with how well it turned out.Thank you so much for creating this amazing work for me. You did an INCREDIBLE JOB and it was well worth the wait. I absolutely love the “patch-up scar” just below the eye that we had discussed, and everything else as well. The paint is flawless. So glad I had the good sense to “leave it to the professionals” by opting to choose your steady hand. Extra kudos to your impeccable packaging skills

    David, Thank you so much for your outstanding work – I’ve received the artwork, and it’s absolutely wonderful.

    Bruce looks exactly how I imagined – I truly love all the details. You’re a genuinely exceptional artist! He’s already found a special place where he can really shine.

    Absolute perfection, sir. And 100% worth the wait. I feel like I own a piece of movie history. I can’t wait to display Bruce for my film students and show them how the original was operated. This piece of art is museum quality. Again, perfection!

    I am absolutely gobsmacked with Bruce. I honestly have no words at how magnificent he is. What a true artist you are. Bruce was well worth the wait. I'm going to post pics on my JAWS FB groups as well. Thank you so much for creating this treasure.
