I did say the last update would be the final one before she went to be shown off and declared finished. However, Im so please with the result of my latest test I thought I would share the results.

I've made some tarps out of lead foil, great stuff which I think looks pretty convincing. Painted a slightly different sandy grey shade to break things up more than anything.
