The most iconic shark in movie history has been recreated in a terrifying way by Richard Riley! Richard sculpted this replica out of EPS foam for a client, accurately capturing both the size and details of the shark from the first JAWS movie.
“I started out with a profile image of the head, transferred that to foam and started carving!”
Richard used a combination of both the 4-Foot and 2-Foot Bow Cutters as well as the Industrial Router to sculpt the shape and details of the shark.
“I really enjoyed this one, the movie JAWS is by far one of my favorite movies so when offered the job of replicating the shark I jumped at the chance!”
“This is not just a standard replica of a shark, the animated prop from the movie had some unique features not found on a regular shark such as the jowls which were used to cover the hinge mechanism.”
