Thanks all, I'm happy with it. It's a lovely model, I might even get a couple more…

Lovely piece, how about naming her "Fortuna" or after one of Neptune's Daughters, "Benthiscya", "Despoena", or "Rhode"? "Salacia" the Goddess of Salt Water or one of the Oceanids or Nereids en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nereid or something like "The Lucky Nymph" or "The Nymph of Ostia" (or whatever port name is appropriate)?

Really stunning conversion and paintjob!
Lluis of Minairons	31 Jul 2013 2:52 p.m. PST
Oh wow. "Stella Maris" (=Seas Star), or just "Stella". Or… perhaps… "Concha Veneris" (=Venus shell), or simply "Veneris" (=Venus' own).
