Just a bit of sprue that I have cut down to bottle shape.

Yes Chris -- I have a 70cl and a 1L bottle of Kraken Rum , and the 1L tastes much better - hohoho

So you're using upmarket labels then and not the Tesco bargain ones? I had a glass (or two) of Kraken the other night. Mmmmm

I wondered if you had turned them.

No just a bit of work with a round and then flat file.

Hi Msea,
That looks scary...
I think the washing machine looks excellent.
Great entertaining build this, and so many great modelling skills evident.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

I like the rust effect, very real looking.

Thank you both for the comments - BUT did the van and the washing machine separately and when I have fastened them together noticed that the fresh rust stains on the washing machine are flowing in the wrong direction. 
Now will they wash off and I can then put some more on the correct way round ????
