A functional and light-up model replica of the Orca from Steven Spielberg's Jaws. Brody (Roy Scheider), Quint (Robert Shaw) and Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) used the Orca, Quint's boat, to hunt down and kill the shark which had been terrorising Amity Island.

This miniature replica was painstakingly researched and built over four months by Crissy Howes, who has had a long and storied career as a model maker, art director, and special effects designer on films such as Avengers: Endgame, The Martian, Sunshine, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, The Dark Knight, and Casino Royale.

Every light illuminates when powered by a battery pack hidden in the bow. Each light has a switch hidden under a bed in the front compartment, which can be accessed by removing the roof. The model has several movable or interchangeable sections, including a replacement broken front window, and is accompanied by a poseable model of Quint. The boat is displayed on an acrylic stand.

While not quite seaworthy, the boat does have a functioning motor and has previously been piloted on a lake. Dimensions: 170 cm x 70 cm x 160 cm (67" x 27.5" x 63")
