Very nice. The quality is so good there's almost a 3D affect on the photographs!

Just waiting for my fourth tube - 1 went for a club auction. The other 2 currently have floats in them. New floats for my new tube??

Excellent work by Evert - as always to be relied upon.

They are works of art, I would be afraid of damaging it if I had one , it would be a waste to leave it looking beautiful in a display case , but thinking it would end up scratched and battered if used on the river bank would put me in a bout of terrible indecision !

Well it has arrived - along with some lapel badges. Absolutely gorgeous - diving mermaid with fish. They are getting better & better Evert!

Would highly recommend one - even just for your "den" or filled with floats on the bank.
