Squirt Turtle (Chiqui Buscando A Nemo)
Squirt Turtle (Chiqui Buscando A Nemo)

Introduction
I think this is the cutest thing I have ever made! Seriously, I am in love with this character, colors,
design and the general toy we will be making in this tutorial. You bought this tutorial so You are one
of two: either a fan of Finding Nemo ( Squirt is the best character in this movie we all know it) or a
parent whose child loves "finding Nemo"( You also loved it but had to watched it so many times You
hate it now :)) I am the second one I was a big fan of the movie, but now after reading the story night
after night I can't stand it.... but even now I love little Squirt :)
Turtle when finished is 30 cm (12 inches) from head to the end of back legs.
