About 70cm nose to tail.

That's 700mm. I thought only teachers and dressmakers used cm.

 

[Seadog]

And artists.

That really is awesome. Must look really impressive at 700long! How about something for scale? On the bonnet of a car or someone holding it?

As I typed I was thinking I should probably use mm.
I wanted to use inches

Wow. Can you summarise how you made that? I'm assuming that a detailed version would take you too long.
