Outstanding!!! Luv it a lot mate. She certainly looks the part buried in the bog. Looks like you had a lot of fun with this one. Great stuff

Thanks mate, yes did indeed have fun, after the effort to seal it it is nice not to have any leaks. Just need to top up the water and then call it done.

That's really nice work John - love it!

Thanks Ali.

Yes Pete, I think so, don't imagine I can do the justice you do to them but I shall enjoy the build.

My head's up on some of the bits with the rubber band tracks give them a good wash in warm soapy water and if you got any wire wool just give him a buff after drying before painting.
The main locating pins cut them a bit shorter than they then you can take the top and bottom parts apart easily.

Hi John
That Sir is most excellent :thumb2: That Precision I & S water is good stuff. My only issue with it is that it seems to set to a rubbery consistency. Looking forward to the next pour.

Hi Jim - it is clear silicone rubber, rather than resin, which explains the rubbery nature of the finished result.
I really like the stuff - tints easily with pigments, makes ice when mixed with their snow products and no noticeable shrinkage

Thanks Jim, get where you are coming from on the rubbery bit, but it is as Simon says a silicone. My thoughts are it doesn't smell , or shrink, and that for me is differently a winner.
