Mark’s Oscar for “Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring” looking towards Hollywood over the trees at the right. You can just make out Santa Monica Bay to Oscar’s left with the Goodyear Blimp floating above.

The Maxella facility in Marina del Rey would be just behind Oscar’s shins

Below a list of Mark’s contribution to a myriad of films...many of them blockbusters right from the getgo.

Replacement top half of bridge (“pattern and layup” in model-speak) that Mark made staying up 36 hours straight, with a 4 hour nap, then another 36 hours to make the repair and replace it invisibly (lots of sanding and time-consuming fitting) so Ron could paint it

(marvelous)
