Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Visual Effects Model Maker - Shark
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Main Page.
| Used in Fight of the War Witch (or something like that - they all had funny names). Sean Casey built this model early in eh first season, then it sat till the last episode. There were so many shots, Sean made a mold and a second copy. |
 The first pattern was carved in foam and a hard mold made. Then a cast was made which was detailed. |
 This contraption made a very good mold. |
 Because there were so many shots required for this episode, it was determined that a second model was needed. There was great concern about making a mold of a completed model, fearing damage. Once Sean removed the undamaged model from the mold late at night, he made this quick clay copy as a joke for us all when we walked in the following morning. |
 Preparing to assemble the two halves of the casting. Showing the six mount armature. |
 The two halves of the casting assembled, before detailing. |
 Making the rased panel in front of the tail fin. |
 Before painting. That's a man being eaten by the shark, not a hatch cover. The front and bottom hatch covers are on the stand. |
 The model as it exists today in the hands of a restorer. |
