Nice work !  No need to learn to swim, then.

And what do you think about this one, from a T-shirt design.
Er. That's a French play-on-words, about "mer" (=sea) and "mère" (=mother) as the French title of the film "Jaws" was "Les dents de la mer".
Ooops, sorry.

Nice. I use shark fins in the wake to show hull damage in Limeys & Slimeys.

Did you run Limeys & Slimeys games in 15mm at DragonFlight around 1999/2000/2001? If you did, pretty sure I played in at least one of your games!

SI, great shark fins, I think I know what I'll be doing with the next blob of leftover putty I have. Quick and entertaining little pieces.

the fins are great, and the face also!

great work indeed!

Woah, thats, to say the least, really nasty and scary! I got to admit that I am a bit afraid of sharks, wich might be a bit strange considering the fact that I live in Sweden, but there you go, why bother with logics :S
Anyway, these are really nice, and I would love a few of them!

Very nice work.
A slight critique; the pose of the sharks head very vertical (like its just charged a seal [or surfer!] our of the water), although that may simply be due to the gape of the jaw?
I wonder how it might look if you angled it slightly forward?

Brings back memories of a game I ran a very long time ago in 1:1200 that was a whale hunting game and included shark fins and whale tails and whale heads, etc.  Found a use for those tiny little boats that come with the ships besides glueing them in place.

Nice work but I had the same thought about the verticality of the Jaws but understand the reasoning.

I often wonder if I was the inspiration for so many of the fins we see these days since I'd never heard of or seen anyone doing it before I did.  No doubt someone will burst my bubble with hard evidence of it being done before I was born.

Terrific stuff, still sending shivers down my spine.

Great idea, that shark is very like the movie - but that poor bloke is going to need a bigger boat!

Me, too!  I've always wondered what "fear of sharks" was officially called (such as arachnophobia = fear of spiders).  I just googled it and apparently it is galeophobia.  I also suffer from it.  And my fear has little logic, either.  I live in landbound Ohio -- far from the coastlines of the United States. 

One weird thing about my phobia, though.  I can get in the water and swim out to shark depth (one meter or so) if someone is with me.  I guess my mind mentally calculates and gives me a 50/50 chance of the shark eating the other person instead of me!!!  I am incapable of swimming alone in the ocean, though.  I just can't force myself to do it!

Hmm...sorry about the threadjack!

Great idea as well as execution.

Now let's see them painted!
