Are they alive???? They remind me of these segmented bug things that lived in a river near the old Tupperware engineering offices where I used to work. Not my taste, but very well done.

So, not Bernie Rico, then? What frightens me is the thought of having to sand, level, polish and buff all those tiny facets. Mattia Valente38773.4718865741
