Thanks dae, nah the pipe will be the only webbed part, as this little guy isn't really a big swimmer - more of a jumper I thought less resistance in the water would give him more speed whilst jumping.

Which reminds me - I'll want to rig this guy for a pose nearer the end of the challenge, is there any chance anyone can post a URL to a free REALLY simplified tutorial? All I keep finding is 'theories' of rigging and weights etc, but nothing to walk-through. Or I find skeleton building, but no relations to the rigging of it. Maybe I'm confused.

Haven't actually touched my model much recently, work has been pretty full-on and I've not had the patience in the evenings to get him poly'd. However, I WILL be finishing this model, and will get much more time as of next weekend to really get everything sorted out.

All comments and crits are valued so please - speak up.
