      Sara and the chain-mail bikini!

      On a whim I picked this up at the last IPMS Farnborough meeting - its not something I would normally do but I thought it would make a change from tanks and planes

      (this is of course someone else's build)

      Now this is a vinyl kit and I've never built one of those so does anyone have any tips on how you should a) glue the parts together b) fill/sand any joint issues. I note that the vinyl doesn't really take to being sanded in the normal way so how do you cover blemishes and imperfections (if anyone says "with foundation" I'll get them their coats!)

      Obligatory "sprue" shots:

      Its a vinyl figure and as I said in the first post I've never worked with that material so I need to find out how to work it.

      As you can see from the dragon's head, the detail is very good

      I've already done some "trimming" ahem to test the fit. Lots of "flash" but I think that is intentional!
      Oh dear I think I'm going into innuendo overload!!!! Ooooo Matron!
