I was checking out what design to have for model of the month for June. I was thinking about
the car I have just been working on but would like to save that for a while so went
through some of my pictures for the past few weeks and found this Dolphin.

I assumed I had made a Dolphin before but it would have been a while back and I could
make a variation as it probably would have evolved a little from back then.

Well imagine my shock when I looked and found out that over the years we have never made a model of the month with a Dolphin.
So thought I'd make a variation on a design from a few years back, this Dolphin is on BalloonTube
from 4 years ago and so the new design for next month is a variation on a theme from this one.

Some variations. Using 5 bubbles for the main body and just one for the rear section always
looks a little uneven and proportioned wrong. But adding the extra bubbles for the
rear does not sit nicely and pleasing to my eye either.

A 350 rear section might be the way to go, I will try later today.

I was not keen on the double pinch twists under the central fin for the Dolphin so made without those.
I think it gives a smoother look to the design.......

The Dolphin on the right is the pinch free one, not a great picture to see.

Then it was a case of just tweaking proportions with everything so I was happy.

So this Dolphin will be the Model of the Month for June.
