I think I'd just want the supertanker to stay for a while, especially if a beautiful south african was driving it ;)

another good one  :-* :-* :-*
Why the hole in the top?

It's for the roof, didn't want the sand all sticking together as it dried.

Good looking build  :-*

Envious of the clean cuts you have achieved... any other trick than sharp blade, metal ruler and steady hand for the result? :)

I use a desktop hot wire cutter (rather than the hand held type), I fund it much easier than a knife and the adjustable guide helps achieve consistent thicknesses

I have one almost exactly like it from Proxxon bought from a local store

(http://dorchdanola-netbutik.dk/product/proxxon-gloedesav-thermocut-230e-4202/)

You should be able to get one in Finland, too, I think.
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Looking good, mate.

You must be getting through a fair bit of sand by now.
Are the local beaches under serious threat yet??

Brilliant model Mark. Lovely attention to detail. You're getting better and better with each one. I reckon you'll be getting addicted to making these though... I look forward to the completed 200-piece city  ;)
