Hi Lego lovers
Just came across this set,anybody think this is just one of the most desirable
fish.
Wondering if anybody has built this and if the operation is cool.
Thank you

Yes, it is an interesting build if you like moving models / automata. The motion
is not perfect but is reasonably smooth. It is a clever build that stops motion
if you turn the handle the wrong way. At the time of the crowdfunding, you could
also download blank skins to print, colour in and cut out, so could make whatever
style fish you like.

It is a handcranked model but you can also make a small modification of the axle
length and add a support to be able add a PF M-motor to power it instead of hand
cranking.
