Very good. The pose with the stand angled from behind really adds to it.

The aerials are a bit bendy. I might replace them with something stiffer (ooh-err missus).

Excellent. The only thing that's missing are the "beeps".

Nice one, Eric, just shows what can be done with a few bits and some imagination - wire might be preferable for the antennae though as it is less likely to get bent.

Yes - I was thinking of getting hold of some wire for the antennae.

For your next project why not have a go at making the modified R-7 launch vehicle to go with it out of bog rolls and Fairy Liquid bottles, Eric?

I'll stick to the Airfix kit, I think - although it's not that accurate.
