shark teeth

[packerbacker180]

Ok, I'm working on a DCUC CnC King Shark where I've sculpted his head atop an Arkillo torso. I'm planning on sanding a canal in the mouth and putting individual teeth inside. But I'm still not certain what material to use for the teeth? I've never attempted anything like this before, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions on the process?

Thanks in adv, here's a WIP pic, the snout is still needs some reshaping, but just wanted to give an idea of the design:

Tips from nails maybe.

Use the plastic packaging and cut out small triangles. Use a super gel cause super glue doesn't give you enough glue to stick them in place. Use tweezers to put them in place. tooth picks, but they always look liked you used tooth picks for teeth.

What about the tips of plastic forks?

I just sculpt them. Shape the ring around the mouth and cut them into teeth with a razor blade when the material is about 4/5 cured. Sharp teeth are easier than human looking ones. This is also because I'm kind of a mess glueing small parts.

I'd sculpt them but I fear they'd break off accientally, so I'm thinking of something sturdier. These are all good ideas, still indecided what direction I'll take.

I have to keep that one in the memory banks for later use. You get 2 cookies for that idea Shapp!

Keep us updated...can't wait to see how it turned out! <I know this icon is for sick, but he looks like he's holding his breath to me. and since I am holding my breath with anticipation...I thought it fit for this situation!

Happen to have any old Street Shark figures around?
Once I saw this sculpt I immediately thought of Armaggon from the Ninja Turtles comic series published by Archie Comics in the 90's. Look him up, he is a bad-ass; made all kinds of trouble for the future turtles. You should make a custom of him.
