Great White Shark

#1 Post by harpooner54 »

Recently finished this resin kit that I have had for some time. I believe it came out around 1999 or 2000.
Sculpted by John L. Cherevka- it's a big model, 32 inches long. The jaws were 2 separate parts (upper &
lower) that were installed in the mouth. A steel rod is included in the kit, which supports the fish & fits
into the base, which is a stylized replica of a Megalodon (prehistoric shark) tooth. It has lifeless eyes,
black eyes, like a doll's eyes... :wink:

DavidSnakeDecina- Thanks very much!

I took some additional photos with some different lighting- this shows the mouth better.
I also took out the supporting rod in Photoshop.
