    Hey Paul. Good job so far but don't rely on that base to hold the STAP with the figure on! I did and mine toppled over nearly five feet to the floor - then into the waste bin!

    It would probably be OK if you fixed some weight underneath - perhaps some lead sheet if you have any.

        time to crack on with this one.......needs to be finished as it might be going to Telford!!

        had the paint stripped off twice so third time lucky.......im trying some Humbrol acrylic

        not planning on weathering Roger, just a wash in the panel lines, so hopefully it wont take too long



        ive also made a base, since i want Roger standing next to the STAP rather than riding it

        50p MDF base picked up at a show, painted black, i then scanned and printed onto photograph quality paper a ready made base i had from Coastal Kits......its supposed to be race track starting grid but i just angled it to make it a bit random.......stuck it to the base

          Nice work so far Paul, really like the base. Simple but effective

              Glad you have decided to finish this one off. Hopefully you can get it done in time for Telford. Good luck
