Chompie was just an idea 2006 until a scale model of the building with the shark was designed to help create measurements of the shark, according to Discovery Communications spokeswoman Tammy Shea. Then, individually scaled clay models of each portion of Chompie were built. This process allowed for patterned pieces to be created. The patterns were then …
