The original is:
Tiger shark, glass, steel, 5% formaldehyde solution

This one is:

# could do
I was thinking of doing an animated gif which rotated round the the 'work' when you hover over the image.

# thanks
just removing the background clutter of everything in the room using large pieces of card was first objective.

That and getting a little shadow like the picture of the original.

# no no no
I have been carrying large quantities of water in lunch boxes round the flat in a precarious manner for some hours.

Tricky to get the little fella to stay upright and at the right height - I used fishing line - which I believe the original does as well.

# earlier effort
this is the first attempt - bit of a problem of scale. He's rather squished in.

# yep
after all that work on the white edging...

I tried something smaller in the box initially - a fish finger. But it er... didn't look very appealling (unlike now obvsiously)
