OOB build for this one although I may do a base and a backdrop to set it off nicely.

A Bean Floater, rather than a Pea Floater......

Could try a pie floater. An upturned meat pie in a mushy pea soup covered in tomato sauce. Bit of a local delicacy. Very nice.

Sorry guys, I've let this one get away from me in favour of a GB on another forum ( :evil: heretic!!) - and that one being a car would you believe?!!

I've had a bit of a blitz on it this weekend but obviously won't make it for the 30th but I'l keep going - too much time spent on it already to give up now - boy, what a fiddly bugger this one is ain't it?

Here is my representation of red dope soaked through linen etc.

I'm afraid my little camera doesn't do macro very well, but I think you'll get the gist.

I can't say I've enjoyed building this kit but that is probably down to the pressure of the GB deadline, but I did find the kit a bit difficult and the huge sprue gates holding on the most delicate pieces nearly saw it go straight to the wall a couple of time. I'll post more pics on the 30th.
Cheers
