Rolfosteus model

This project all started after seeing an interesting image of the fish on Deviantart.
From the site: 
Rolfosteus is a genus of arthrodire placoderm fish that lived in Australia during the Devonian.‭ ‬Though small for an arthrodire placoderm,‭ ‬the stand out feature of Rolfosteus is the enlarged snout.‭ ‬The specific purpose of this snout is still unknown,‭ ‬but fish that develop such a feature usually do so as a form of sensor suite,‭ ‬having a heightened ability to detect things such as smells to even electrical impulses from prey that otherwise might be hidden.

One thing I like was that this fish topped out at approx. 6 inches.  So I was able to make it life size.

The sculpt was done with Super Sculpey, with MoreZmore ceramic beads for eyes.  This guy will be painted ASAP.
