Here's the wonderful mermaid. Her articulated tail has three sections which move in a supple swishing action when the handle is turned. The handle is connected via a series of four gear wheels to a spiral crank inside her body, which makes the tail move. The instructions are very fully illustrated with diagrams to make assembly as easy as possible, however this kit is fairly complex, and will take a fair bit of patience and time to assemble. The swimming mermaid is available in two sizes:
Large: approx17.5" long by 14" high (65 by 35 cm). price £13.00
Very large: approx 25.5" long by 14" high (45 by 24 cm). Price £19.00
