Superb. I'd imagine you could calculate the density so it sat slightly lower in the water, widen the gap between each half for more vigorous action, alter the lip to give some dive where required, and add add some fur detail to the fins for extra prettiness. Then work out your material costs and production time, and sell them for (say) $5000 each? I'm sure there would be takers, both from collector's market and indeed from the sharks themselves. Brilliant job.
