Wow, just wow! Beautiful! The barrels and other details look fantastic! Love love love it!!!

Have you considered having one of the barrels sideways in the “water” or maybe a harpoon sticking out of the cage?

People are going to be lining up for this! You going to need a bigger bucket of candy! 😉

 

The 3 barrels stay on the boat n I have 3 in n the water coming off the shark. Not pictured
I also have a buoy n pippet if I can find him he’s lost at the post office lol 😳
Cage is not done yet. Hooper goes in the cage with his harpoon. Still need to set up so people see the whole thing. Not done yet

 

You haveta be serving the candy out of a chum bucket......lol You've done a fantastic job with your theme. How many kids you usually get?

 

Please share pics as you go and absolutely in the dark when you get done. I love everything about this! Agree with Malicious on the chum bucket!

 

I will post the grand display when it’s done. Chum bucket included 🤗😳

 

Where abouts in Canada are you located? Feel free to PM me. A friend of mine in Ontario is a huge Jaws fan (like super fan) and I’m sure he’d love to see your set up when it’s done.

 

I’m in Ontario just outside of Fergas - Alma

 

Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women 🍺

Incredible work I must say! That's more than a Halloween display that's a year rounder

 

Yeah been 12 weeks worth of work. Can’t wait to set it up n do pictures n video. As it’s not complete wo the characters n water effect

 

Phenomenal work! Exceptional detailing. I can't get enough of your progress shots all along. I'm eagerly anticipating the final results. Can't wait!

Also, another vote for the chum bucket!

next project is my witch house for Snow Fright 😳🤗🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Many years ago, I had the idea of a shark aquarium tank. The idea was to fill the tank with fog, like it were murky water. Also a light source above with a water effect. Their also might be some deep sea creatures inside as well.

The audience would see a vague profile of a shark swimming by in the distance. That could be a cut-out, or a rear-screen video projection. Then after it was no longer visible, a shark would come straight towards them, and even burst through the tank glass panel.

Never got to implement it.

I also recall a version, where the audience is walking through a clear tunnel. The fake aquarium is perhaps a bit leaky and rusty.

Ideally to get into the tunnel under the water, they have to go down some steps or a ramp. If the water tank illusion is convincing, that would increase the apparent danger of the tunnel collapsing and them being immersed in the water with the shark. Though you would need to have perhaps a house with a daylight basement to have a yard that would make this viable.
