Win Sideshow's awesome JAWS maquette here!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If I only ever gave one thing away on this site, this would be it. Anybody can tell I have a love of the film JAWS. I inject that film into almost every conversation and even took my handle from Robert Shaw's character (not from MALLRATS, as some believe). Low and behold the good folks at Sideshow have put out a beautiful maquette of Bruce the Shark from Steven Spielberg's masterpiece (okay, one of his masterpieces) JAWS.





Beauty, isn't it? While not quite 25 feet long or weighing 3 tons this piece still looks massive. Measuring 28" nose to tail, 16" wide and almost 15" from base to top of the dorsal fin, this is sure to be a huge eye-catcher. Plus it retails at nearly $300. Once again the good folks at Sideshow have allowed us here at AICN to give away one of these beautiful babies to one of you guys out there.





The one they're giving will have a black base, but otherwise just as it is in these pics.

I've been running lots of arts-centric contests recently and I toyed with asking you folks to paint or sculpt a scene from Jaws to win this guy, but in the end I decided that wasn't such a good idea. Too much work and I want to include a broader range of our readership who, like, me can't even draw a stick figure or create anything but a misshapen ball out of clay. So, I thought... WWQD... what would Quint do? Why, he'd want to compare scars, of course.





So, what I want from you are pictures of your own scars from any part of your body and a short (I mean under 150 words) story about where and how you got that scar. I want these pics emailed to aicnquint@yahoo.com with the subject line LET'S DRINK TO OUR LEGS. Don't forget to include your mailing address. I'd like the photos to be jpgs and under 150k. If you want to include multiple angles, go for it. And please keep these pics real. If I have any doubt of their validity I could chuck 'em, so don't try to fake me out!

I'm going to pick my favorite. The more insane the story or the more gnarly the scar the better chance that disfigured individual will have a purty giant shark to show off. Sideshow has some terms and conditions below. All that applies as does the fact that as judge of this contest my decision on the winner is final.
