I have been unable to post pictures earlier as this model was entered in a competition over on the Lead Adventure Forum, the brief was to scratch build a piece of scenery using a CD as a base, kit parts could only be used as final dressing. I am very proud to say I won the competition.

Wow! Very impressive! Did you have much trouble painting the straws? I've tried painting straws for use as scenery in the past and they have been a royal pain in the @$$ to get paint, even primer, to stick on. How was your experience?

Having used straws this time, would not do so again as they are prone to chipping, but at the time I did not know better and they seemed to provide the easiest option.

If this continues to be an issue, try mixing latex (or PVA) into your paints, this will allow them to bend at the same time as the straws and make them less likely to chip. though you may need to give them as dusting of silica to stop them being sticky.

Holy crap that is amazing. Makes me want to take the pictures of my organ down off the web. LOL

Very nicely done, and congrats on winning the competition. You obviously deserved it!
