I am trying to make the alternate head (from the kit) look more like Bruce, from Jaws. I struggled with making something look unnatural, about as much as I struggle with making it look natural.
Added the "jowls" of the mechanical shark, the head shape is off too, but I'm not talented enough to sculpt the brow/nose area.
Not sure if Milliput was the best option (at least for me) on this with the complex shapes, it's great for seam filling and such, but even when I tried to use it for smaller details, it was too tough to use. I'm thinking of investing in a smaller trial package of either Green Stuff, or Apoxie Sculpt (based on other's posts). I've also got a couple of packages of some air dry clay around here somewhere, maybe that may help? I don't know. I don't know how much sculpting I'll be doing in the future, but I'll have to ponder.
I did take off about 2 mm's of the nose, giving it a more blunted look.
Based on Edbert's recommendation of applying a bit of heat to the seams/mold lines, (that worked incredibly well btw, wish I'd thought of that for the main shark), but again, sanding this stuff is a struggle.
I'll let the milliput harden up and see if I can fine tune the "sculpt", (I say that in the loosest possible terms) a bit and try to get it to look more like Bruce-
I've got a great reference photo from the Jaws exhibit the wife and I went to at the Catalina Island museum. They had tons of cool stuff, (the cage, props and displays, including all of Joe Alves' drawings for the shark) including a life-size maquette of Bruce's head, so I'm using that as a reference.
