Um.....just......WOW  :o :o :o

I am staggered by the way you approach these projects and just make stuff (and I'm including all the work you did on the nasty plastic zombies too). There are many everyday things that just about anybody can see the potential in but to see this:



and be able to envision this:

I second Matakishi΄s post - now that is remarkable. I assume building it up was fun, otherwise I cannot begin to understand how you΄d go through so much effort rather than buying an existing kit.

WOW Great stuff. :-*
I can’t believe the amount of work you have put into this. The end results is so different from the original.

The real beauty of work like that is that it is yours, not just a kit, and a unique piece. Kudos!

that's completely insane... kudos for the skills and vision... you could have bought a lanny, I would have bought a lanny... there are loads of cars like that in Poundland, and by no stretch of the imagination could I have seen what you saw...

From the original photo to the finished photo, you wouldn't even know that it was the same vehicle that you started with...quite impressive!!
