Here is progress on what I mentioned earlier, (http://www.finescale.com/FSM/CS/forums/659643/ShowPost.aspx)
I have not got far yet, but all the parts are there. I stripped off the Pod Racer paint yesterday, and sanded of the excess putty today. I also drilled the gun barrels out, they are made of sprue. I would have liked to get further but I am working upstairs as our room underneath (where my workbench is) is pretty cold at the moment.
