"This is an "Aliens from the Planet Scardox" toy -- you see them all the time in pound shops, The Works, and so on."
Haven't seen any in the US, but will take another peek.
"I put the little rockets aside to be used another time -- waste not, etc. -- and gave the plastic insert a bit of a clean. I then took it outside and gave it a couple of coats of good old Halfords car primer, remembering also to spray the inside (the plastic is very thin and a little translucent)."
Two questions: 1) How very thin? As in be careful not to lean on it? Not to put heavy figs on it? 2) Did you consider trying to fill/cover the holes?
Really, it only LOOKS like four questions...
