I hadn't heard of the challenge when I did this, but this jellyfish toy was 35p (0.38 EUR) so perhaps it qualifies! I finished it this morning.



All I did was put it on a base and trim off the Made in China logo. And I've got 5 more of them ready to go as soon as I find some more 2p coins for the bases.

This sounds like it might be quite a fun challenge to do as my first challenge on here.

A good challenge and here is my humble offering:

A Lynx bodyspray cap-innards with golf tee = a communication array.

Button for same spray = a transport vehicle (for 20mm micro machien star wars)! :-)

Hope this meets the criteria as I am counting it as zero-cost as salvaged from my recycling?
