Another amazing piece! But does anyone else see the seaplane as a shark? Look at the trailing edge of the wing closest to us. Those are teeth, the coc*pit the eye, and the other wing is the dorsal fin. Amazing how he can put 2 completely different things in 1 image. Thanks for sharing

Simply Superb!!!

I've been lusting for one myself for a long time. I wonder why they're so rare.
