I wasn't sure whether this should go on my v-bench or Ulrich's but anyway here it is. Sculpted by my friend Ulrich Biroth and painted by myself.
Take a look at Ulrich's v-bench for the orginal photo and sculpting details, here's the end result.

Roger.

I like what I see and I hope you had so much fun to paint it as I to sculpt him.

What about a new project for your next birthday????

Ulrich

Thank you Ulrich and yes I had fun painting it.

I've got plenty more idea's

Roger.

This is a great little vignette. Very original idea and well-executed both of you! Hope you don't mind, I tampered with your photo a bit. Roger - May I make a suggestion? How about adding some clear semi-gloss to the fish to bring out the watery surface of the fish's skin. Just a little sheen, but not too much.

All the best,
Dan

Of course I don't mind Dan!

Good idea about giving the fish a wet look, I'll get onto it after this beer, no, I'd better wait t'il boxing day .

There must be plenty more naval subjects we can have a go at between us.

Roger,
Looks good, Lets cook him up.
Cheers
John

Now that's what I call Cristmas dinner! Fun piece.

John, Jay & Kenneth, cheers fella's. This was great fun to paint and the cooperation between myself and Ulrich was only possible to due Planet Figure and of course the work I've done with Dan too.

Roger.

Great sculpture from Urich and paintwork from you!
I agree with Dan, a little sheen on the fish would make it better.

Marcel.

Thank you Marcel and thanks for reminding me about giving the fish the wet look, I forgot about that. It must have been the excitement of waiting for Santa Claus

Update

This is how the Halibut now looks after a dip in the cold Nordsee!
