~Terrific!
I'm happy to see you get back to this build
It's really never to late......(well a least 'til your not suck'inair any more 
)
I'm really interested by the produce display---that's an impressive group of fruits&veggies , whatever they are--Likey if standing at a Maylasian fruit stand most of us would have little idea what we we're looking at. What went into the products?
Yup. Better late than never.
This was for our National Day group build and everyones been asking when it's going to be completed.
Ah, the produce - that's got everyones attention here too. You'll know some of them...basically they're bananas, oranges, watermelons, plums, chinese winter pears, rock melons, mangosteens, our king of fruit the durian(it's a love or hate fruit for westeners) and chinese cucumber.
Bananas - Super glued spice(fennel seeds) to a slice of curved sprue and painted them.
The chinese cucumber are larger Fennel seeds.
Oranges - Were made from white pepper seeds. I had to find the smaller ones to keep them in scale.
Water Melons - Made with two part epoxy putty and stuck a piece of copper wire to the back for the stem. The characteristic stripes on the watermelons are not painted yet.
Plums - Mustered seeds coated with Future. This was left in it's original color.
Chinese winter pears - Large white pepper seeds.
Rock melons - Two part epoxy putty rolled into shape.
Mangosteens - Still in progress.
Durian - Made from dried papaya seeds. This was the only thing I could use to get the right scale and simulate the thorny skin of the fruit. I tried Casurina tree seeds but they were out of scale.
I built the stand from balsa to hold the durian. This is quite typical at fruit stalls when in season.
Besides the produce, scratch building the motor bike and modifying the Land Rover took the larger proportion of time. You'll see it in the coming posts.
Cheers,
Richard
