Sprue Man

By Murray Gayski

[Sharp dressed man]


[What am I thinking?]

What to do with the mountain of plastic left over when the plastic model kit is finished? Some people would like to trade the left over plastic in on another kit as it seems there is more sprue in the box than the model parts attached.

This creation was inspired on two fronts one was to have something different to show at the WASMEX model show here in the West (Australia) and what to do with all the sprue we have left over after we complete a plastic kit. I must admit all the sprue in this guy was not mine I had a lot of help from some of the guys from the club donating there left overs to the cause but I didn’t tell anyone what I was doing with it or what I was building, I had them guessing for months.

He took only 5 days in total to build 4 large bottles of super glue and a bottle of Flashtac.
