Dear STS members,
I acquired the Colorata Raptor set box. The Steller's sea eagle in it comes with a salmon as accessory, the eagle is landing on the beached salmon for devour it.

The sockeye salmon itself is not bad, it have the shape of the head very well done for a male in breeding condition. However it have, on one side, an eagle-foot shaped mark with a central hole for attach the peg in he eagle figure. The other side is flat for lying in a surface, painted silver, and with no eye and no pectoral nor pelvic fin, so it can't stand upright on a surface. I can't use this salmon as a figure of my collection...

...Until now! Now I have two dry-air modelling pastes! :) With Fimo Air I filled the shape on both sides and added the missing fins:

Thanks everybody!
Susanne, the eagle is even poorer than you think - yesterday I brought it to my garden for make photos in snow to it, but in the way it broken a leg! So I had to bring it back without photos and after a short veterinary session (Super Unick glue from Ceys) now it have a restored leg and I must find some meat for make it recover quickly from this trauma (fortunately yesterday I bought some beef and pork)
