This is my dio entitled 'The Eggstraterrestrials'. I completed it for a club display that features lots of egg-planes. This was me going that extra mile.

The egg is a plastic one found in a craft supermarket. It stands on three wire legs (each with chicken feet - the hardest and longest part of the build), and a piece of texture plastic card for the ramp.  The ckooks are cheapies from a toy supermarket.  The 'helmets' are wooden beads from the craft supermarket.  The 'air tanks' are fashioned from lengths of wire and thick sprue.

I used to have a low-angle photo of this dio, with a slightly-out-of-focus Sherman tank in the foreground.
