Thank you very much, Pete :D

You're welcome, I think that IKEA photoframe is really good for building a decent looking base. I have ~10 of them in different shapes in my stash.

Thanks papatika :)

I will certainly build another one with full aftermarket set later on - probably a "Fury" model.

This model is a gift to my spouse. She wanted to have one of my models on her desk at work - her boss seems OK with that :thumb2:
