Well, just for look see.
Thought i'd post a link to a sculpture I completed not too long ago.
Japanese Kohaku Koi with the Sandan pattern
http://brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=65489
MOC is roughly 3 1/2 ft in length. It has probably the right body mass size for
a real koi of mature age, of 25-35 years at a full length close to 36+ inches.
The top is covered completely by 1x1 round plates in either white, oramge trans
orange, or clear. The majority being clear.
It is hollow, and the idea, was that it would be part of a display much like
something modeled at any LL theme park.
comments welcome...
Regards!

| Totally cool! The 1x1 rounds work beautifully as scales. The pectoral fins are great too! Any future plans to do the sides as well? I'd love to see some close-ups of the tail too.
