JAWS- Hoopers shark tracker prop info and discussion
- Thread starter ob1al
- Start date
I did them myself via a 2 step process. I should hopefully have enough to cover all the interest on this thread.
As it was a group effort (and my first attempt at a prop here), there will be no cost apart from postage (unless that is really cheap too).
Will keep you all updated.

Here are the pics of my one I finished this evening.
I am having a lot of trouble getting them without any marks on it at all (see pic 3 as an example) but after a bit of extra rubbing I managed to get it a lot better (still not a perfect as I would ideally want)
The only (sort of) plus side of the marks is that it gives the logo a slight aged look to it.
All i need to do now is make the red end cap to make it screen accurate

Did a bit more searching about this logo and it was originally supposed to be beams of light arranged into a circle so you have nailed it.... the link i posted as thought was an evolution of the original but the shape is still the same it was just solid colour originally which is exactly what youve done ... BTW nice work on the labels, and i think the marks just add a bit of realism to them :thumbsup
That came out awesome! :thumbsup

Try going to a bike/ car repair centre and ask if they have any new oil cooler fitting covers, these are usually red push fit caps they cover the openings on new coolers to protect them during manufacture and they leave them on till end use, might be just what youre looking for.

Thanks for that. Will look into it. Also checking to see what other tops will fit.
Cheers
