Hi all,

This occurred to me when my son Filip (13 months) playing in the bathtub with a rubber fish from the movie Finding Nemo.  :D

Nice work! You have considerable skill with the airbrush. I bet your nephew is happy with this!

Absolutely delightful, ujik! Not only do you have some off-the-charts skills, but a nice sense of humor to boot!

The SSN-688 U.S.S. Clown added a nice bright spot to a dreary Monday!

This sounds odd,,, more I look at it, the more it looks like a legit finish and more I like whole build :)
Nice airbrush work.
