I finally got around to locating pictures of lobsters, so I could paint the ones included in the kit. more detail was added here and there.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I wasn't too happy with the sort table.....the weathering had brush strokes on it. I don't do too much weathering as a rule.....so it's rather new to me![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I did manage to fix the problem with the sorting table![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I added a flagstaff as well![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
