Floating tail is an interesting touch - should be a crazy flapper.
Better duck if casting into the wind.
Are you a Trekkie?

Thank you very much for your comments Guys.

Are you a Trekkie?

No, but I have enjoyed reruns of the TV series and do like the recent movies starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Mr. Spock.

How did you get your eye's so flat? The tulip paint that I got is pretty thick and even when I smack them on the table they are still like 3D eyeballs.

The video presented in this article details the process I use to create the eyes.  Thanks to Casey Smartt for the technique.
