OH MY FECKING GOD!

I'LL BUY IT OFF YOU - YOU DARE CUT IT UP AND I'LL PERSONALLY COME DOWN THERE AND REMOVE YOUR TESTICLES WITH A RUSTY SPOON!

Seriously though - I will buy it off you. I could then cast the shell and other parts in silicone rubber to to make perfect replicas!

Dave - dont bugger it up. name your price...

tbh - I prefer mine lol

Dave - you sure that 1:18 and not 1:20 - looks a hell of a lot bigger?!?

Sure I scaled mine right...

I'd defo "borrow" it for a mold - fancy making some RC models... getting bored of the stand based ones.
