My wife decided to make a croc and this is the result. She has zero experience in prop making. Materials: paper, paste, moldable clay, pool noodles, spray paint and string.
I am amazed at how real it looks. What do you think?
For your wife's first attempt it really looks decent. Of course there's still room for improvement, as it does look a little bit cartoony to me, but for her first try it's actually not half bad!
