Now Eddy, you're not giving us a fair shake. I know it seems like there are an endless variety of rubber ducks available, but that's just not so. Your request is exceedingly difficult. While 12 inch rubber ducks are easy to find,18 inch ducks are not. I'm not even sure there is an 18 inch duck. I have a cadillac duck that *might* be 14 inches long, but it's in storage at the moment so I'm really not sure; It could be smaller. And the duck I'm thinking of looks nothing like the one in your logo.
Certainly there is one available duck that is much larger, but it's so large that it need to be inflated to hold it's shape and you would have to build a frame inside of it just to get it to hold it's shape assuming you were to put an axle through it.
The other difficulty is that most vendors in the US. won't ship to the UK (just as most vendors in the UK won't ship to the US). The only vendor I know that sells the extra extra large inflatable rubber duck does not ship outside the U.S.
Good luck with your experiment and let us know how it turns out!
