Massage bathtub
Finding a bathtub is not as easy as you might think. Some of the nice design bathtubs will set you back € 6000 or more. Jet / massage systems are frequently totally over the top with light therapy and all sorts of (silly) accessories. In short, finding a simple bath-tub with a very basic massage system is tricky. However, there are a few plain models ranging from € 1000 to €2000 that look pretty similar. This model is based on a small one made in acrylic, 160×70 cm, height adjustable between 58 and 62 cm. Tub depth is 40-45 cm and the tub holds approximately 200 litres of water. Normal alternatives for this kind of tub would be 170 or 180 length and 80 cm width.
As this kind of model is based on a normal tub, it also usually comes without the massage- / jet-system. To hide the jets and/or the water surface in the SH3D model, just apply an invisible texture in the material properties. ok

Re: Massage bathtub
Ah yes, I forgot. The model is (relatively) small at 45 KB compressed. The acrylic tub is less shiny in real life than the exaggerated rendering - but not too far off for enamel or other glossy tub surfaces. The sides are mapped for a texture so e.g. a tiled wall texture can be applied to the sides to show what the tub would look like if built-in. ok
