Tiger Shark Attack (7773)

My entry is a micro scale rendition of the first set I ever owned; the Aqua Raiders Tiger Shark Attack.

In my mini model I have tried to retain all the set’s original functionality. The technic projectile has been represented with a stud shooter, and the cockpit of the submarine still has room for a micro-scale diver figure. The original set has a large brick-built tiger shark, but at this scale, I thought it was interesting how a Minifigure scale shark is suddenly ginormous next to the micro-figures.

My favourite little detail would be the use of Minifigure fork elements to represent the trident details on the ‘wings’ of the submarine. I used physical bricks to prototype my design, seen in the second image, finalising it in Stud.io.

Studying the original set and building this micro version was a nice little trip down memory lane!
