Golden amber penguin. Any ideas, please?
« on: August 29, 2008, 12:41:44 AM »
Hi all,  ;D

Does anyone have any ideas where this chap originates from? He is a tad over 5" tall and weighs 1kg.
Despite the photo, the controlled bubbles are spiral and uniform.

TIA
Della

If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

Hi Della,


Here is a picture of what John was talking about..............  More a Chaffinch than a penguin.

They also came in Sky Blue, Ruby and Flint.  Yours is Gold.

Regards Patrick.

Ps. This Aqua one has a tail, Ray made only a few like this.

Hi Frank,

Yes but not the Chaffinch I hope.

I must get my act together and send you some pics.

Regards,
