I built this about 30 years ago (about the last time I'd used my airbrush). It was a fiberglass fish blank from a company called Van Dyke's, who made taxidermy forms for animals. I spend months on this and the sanding, forming, fiberglass work, (it's fiberglass over a foam core), cutting, sanding etc. took me the better part of a year. It was a garage project I'd work on when I had spare time. I don't have any pictures of the process, but the final result has hung on my wall for years. It's a bit under 6 foot, (so we'll call her a juvenile) and my paint work wasn't stellar. Her jaws are epoxy putty, fiberglass and I made each individual tooth. Rolling out epoxy clay, cutting the teeth, letting them dry, then painting them and inserting them into more epoxy clay. A labor of love.
