Double Trouble

Few months ago I decided I will not build anything for CCC6, because of lack of time. But something haunted me all yesterday and tonight and I could not stop thinking about this image I had in my head. So here it is - a little vignette called Double Trouble: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/31304...

Indiana Jones and the Forgotten Adventure Build a diorama picturing the Indiana Jones adventure that reallly happened, but Spielberg forgot to make a movie about it.

Lord Sava,
Our club fellow Liwnik for some reason can not register on CC forum and he asked me to post on his behalf:

I hope this will become a tradition.
