Nice! :)

but... (always a but...)

The white part would look better with a little bit of subsurface scattering.
I tried this, and it looked good imho: add a transmit value of .5 to your
pigment, and add this interior:

 interior {
  media {
   #declare Kleur=<.5,.75,.9>;
   #declare opacity=1.5;
   #declare Diffuse=1*opacity;
   scattering {1, rgb Kleur*10*Diffuse extinction opacity/Diffuse }
   samples 1,10
   method 2
  }
 }

Will be slower of course, but also more realistic :)
Oh, and make sure your model has the same shape as the real object..  Not only
on the outside but also the inside!

cu!
