He leaps off the bottom of a curling wave on one foot, the other leg kicked forward, one arm punched straight up holding a red and white ball and the other thrown back, his jaws open as wide as they go in a happy shout, showing two long fangs, a row of small teeth and a big red tongue. He has light blue skin, a yellow chevron belly plate, a red eye under a heavy brow and three fins down his back and tail. The wave is the scene: a single crescent of water that rises from a flat pool, arcs up one side and breaks over his head, edged with foam all along the curl, with a pink lotus and two lily pads on the pool. Two small companions share the base: an orange crab with its claws raised on a grassy rock at the front, and a round orange fish with yellow fins and whiskers resting on a foam splash on the wave. Rock pieces with grass and spiky leaves fill out the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 resin pieces in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure, 1 piece:\u003c\/strong\u003e the crocodile with the ball in his raised hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompanions, 2 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the crab and the fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase, 4 pieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e the wave with its pool, lotus and lily pads, and three rock-and-grass pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 mm (2.76 in) tall, 49 mm (1.93 in) wide and 59 mm (2.32 in) long (from the studio's scale sheet).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the sizes: every measurement above comes from the sculptor's own files or the studio's published size information for the unprinted model. Your printed kit can differ slightly: resin shrinks a little as it cures, removing supports and sanding takes off some material, and the assembled height depends on how the parts are fitted. Treat the numbers as a close guide, not an exact guarantee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSkill level: intermediate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure joins the wave at a single foot, so that one joint carries him.
